Provide specialist technical regulatory framework advice

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to provide specialist advice related to the technical regulatory framework.

It includes identifying complex issues, providing technical advice, formulating options and selecting the preferred option to address identified issues. It specifically addresses advice that is relevant to technical regulatory framework activity and is not intended to cover technical advice that is provided in a broader context of the organisational endeavour or a professional discipline.

This unit applies to technical regulatory framework specialists working in Defence materiel logistics but is applicable to any persons in this field of work.

The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.

Typically, persons undertaking this unit work independently or as part of a team under direct and indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
