Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: June 2024
The unit applies to production of technical textiles and non-woven textiles, generally known in industry as non-wovens. The unit covers the recognition of textiles manufactured using natural or synthetic fibres or yarns. The recognition techniques do not require laboratory skills. The fibres forming the technical or non-woven textile may be a staple or continuous filament. Technical textiles covered by this unit are textiles used for engineering, safety, agricultural, medical and other specialised non-apparel furnishing and floor covering applications. Non-woven textiles covered by this unit may be made by mechanically, chemically or thermally interlocking layers or networks of fibres or filaments.
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 problem solving to identify and classify technical and non-woven textiles. Learning and self management skills are required to apply knowledge of technical and non-woven textiles and communication skills are used to testing procedures.
This unit covers the skills and knowledge to recognise the different types of technical textiles and non-woven materials, including component fibres and yarns. The unit includes underpinning knowledge on the difference between a woven or knitted technical textile and a non-woven textile.
