Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria, and include:
reading and following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), safe work practices
applying relevant standards
assembling information and specification requirements
interpreting and analysing information for use in procedures or manuals
writing procedures and specifications with respect to customer or workplace needs on at least two (2) occasions
confirming accuracy and appropriateness of prepared procedures or manuals
ensuring work health and safety (WHS) policies and statutory regulations are appropriately addressed in procedures or manuals
delegating responsibility for maintaining document accuracy
reviewing effectiveness of procedures and specifications against standards
presenting reports on production performance and developments to management, as required
maintaining accurate records.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
relevant Australian Standards
specific TCF production operations, technology and skills
enterprise systems and requirements
industry standards, regulations and terminology
WHS and environmental aspects of production processes
standards for job instructions, specifications, SOPs, patterns, charts and tickets
order forms and other applicable reference material
workplace policies/procedures and reporting processes
relevant WHS legislation and codes of practice
reporting or recording processes
relevant regulatory requirements and codes of practice

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 preparing procedures and specifications for textiles, clothing and footwear operations, 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.
