| 1.2 | Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times |
| 1.3 | Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs |
| 1.4 | Identify job requirements from specifications, drawings, job sheets or work instructions |
|
2 | Prepare for test or inspection | 2.1 | Select appropriate materials or samples to test aspects of product quality |
| 2.2 | Select and prepare equipment and confirm calibration |
|
3 | Perform test or inspection | 3.1 | Use prescribed testing or inspection procedures to test samples against specified standards |
| 3.2 | Comply with workplace procedures, required quality standards and check procedures |
|
4 | Record and report result | 4.1 | Convert collected data into a form suitable for interpretation, where required |
| 4.2 | Report outcomes and advise appropriate personnel |
| 4.3 | Document and record process and result |

Assessors must:
satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment, as set by the VET regulator
have vocational competency in performing test or inspection to check product quality, at least to the level being assessed, with relevant industry knowledge and experience.
Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
The unit is applicable to all TCF sectors and assessment must ensure it is delivered to suit the industry it is being applied to.
