Develop and test textile, clothing and footwear products or processes

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


The unit applies to the development of a new product or production process or the significant modification of an established product or process to meet design and quality specifications. Routine or non-routine testing procedures must be implemented to test that the development achieves specifications. This unit may involve the development and testing of a prototype or sample product or the design of a manufacturing process or production equipment.

Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities.

The application of this unit is according to OHS practices of the enterprise and workplace practices, which may include:

requirements prescribed by legislation, awards, agreements and conditions of employment

standard operating procedures

work instructions

oral, written and visual communication

quality practices, including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team or section output

housekeeping

tasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control and recycling

This unit requires the application of skills associated with initiative and enterprise, problem solving and planning and organising to examine and test development opportunities. Communication skills will be used to examine specifications, analyse data and research information, perform calculations and prepare and discuss development concepts and findings. Learning skills are also used to gather, test and apply new information.

This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to develop and test a textiles, clothing and footwear (TCF) product or process to achieve required specifications.

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