Operate a smart card machine and pack product

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to operate a smart card machine, monitor production for problems, correctly pack product and clear the machine of materials and wastage.

It applies to individuals who have some responsibility for preparation, monitoring and operation of machinery and equipment, maintaining production and quality of output.

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)

7.7 Waste chemicals are handled and disposed of according to WHS requirements

Evidence of the ability to:

operate a smart card machine and produce cards for TWO different jobs according to job specifications and within the production timeframe

demonstrate all safety devices on the smart card printing and encoding machine.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Evidence of the ability to:

describe operation of the card printing unit

describe operation of the card encoding unit

identify production quality requirements

describe waste disposal procedures

describe correct material handling procedures

list principles of printing and ink usage.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the converting, binding and finishing field of work and include access to:

smart card printing and encoding machine

special purpose tools, equipment and materials.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
