Undertake textile colouration and finishing

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit applies to the application textile production colouration and finishing processes. Colouration and finishing processes are undertaken in a production environment, using standard procedures to meet predetermined design and quality specifications. Colouration and finishing processes may be undertaken on a wide range of fabric types as well as fibres, yarns or garments.

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 communication to interpret specifications, perform calculations, apply formulas and complete documentation. Planning and organising and problem solving skills are required to determine colourisation requirements, test and evaluate outcomes and determine required modifications to fabrics or finishing processes.

This unit relates to the skills and knowledge associated with selecting and applying textile colourisation and finishing processes.

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

Resource implications

Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Context for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment

Interdependent assessment

This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units.

Submission Requirements
