List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Identify glass types, glazing products and consumables | 1.1 | Applicable work health and safety (WHS), legislative and organisational requirements relevant to glass and glazing work are verified and complied with |
| | 1.2 | The characteristics of glass types and glazing products are identified to determine their use and suitability for a range of glazing work |
| | 1.3 | Types and quantities of glazing consumables required for a glazing job are identified from plans or work instructions |
2 | Prepare to use glass and glazing products | 2.1 | Work requirements for glass and glazing work are determined in a logical order to suit the job |

| | 2.3 | Glass to match work requirements is checked for type, size and imperfections |
| | 2.4 | Glazing products are selected in accordance with customer orders and Australian Standards |
| | 2.5 | Defective glazing products are reported for repair or replacement in accordance with workplace procedures |
3 | Handle and use glass and glazing consumables | 3.1 | Consumables are selected and checked prior to use to ensure they are appropriate for the planned glazing work |
| | 3.2 | Consumables are handled and used according to workplace procedures, manufacturer instructions and industry practice |
| | 3.3 | Any problems occurring when using consumables are identified, rectified and/or reported, where appropriate |
4 | Store glass and glazing consumables | 4.1 | Unused glass, glazing products and consumables are assembled after completion of the job, checked for reusability, cleaned and stored safely and effectively |
| | 4.2 | Waste and scrap material are removed for disposal or recycling, as required |
| | 4.3 | Work area is cleaned and rubbish disposed of, as appropriate |

Assessors must:
hold training and assessment competencies as determined by the National Skills Standards Council (NSSC) or its successors
have vocational competency in the furnishing industry at least to the level being assessed with broad industry knowledge and experience, usually combined with a relevant industry qualification
be familiar with the current skills and knowledge used and have relevant, current experience in the furnishing industry.
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time rather than a single assessment event and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
Assessment must be by observation of relevant tasks with questioning on underpinning knowledge and, where applicable, multimedia evidence, supervisor’s reports, projects and work samples.
Assessment is to be conducted on single units of competency or in conjunction with other related units of competency. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance in the unit and should not be assessed separately.
Assessment must occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process, equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
Access is required to a range of commonly used glass, glazing products and consumables, specifications, equipment for using glass, glazing products and consumables and a suitable storage location.
