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 | Determine job requirements | 1.1 | Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) |
| 1.2 | Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times |
| 1.3 | Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with standard operating procedures |
| 1.4 | Identify job requirements from specifications, drawings, job sheets or work instructions |
|
2 | Identify the physical and chemical properties of textiles materials | 2.1 | Identify textile materials using specifications, work sheets or documentation |
| 2.2 | Seek advice from appropriate personnel to identify unknown textile material |
| 2.3 | Identify the physical properties of the textile material using product specifications, worksheets or documentation and research techniques |
| 2.4 | Identify the chemical properties of the textiles or textile material using product specifications, worksheets or documentation and research techniques |
| 2.5 | Undertake standard tests to establish or validate physical and chemical properties of textiles, where required |
|
3 | Determine effects of textile processes | 3.1 | Identify the characteristics and effect of physical and chemical properties on textiles |
| 3.2 | Identify the effects of treatment and textile processing on textile materials |
| 3.3 | Determine the behaviour or impact of treatment and textile processing on the physical and chemical properties of textile materials |
| 3.4 | Undertake standard tests to establish or validate effects of treatment and textile processing, where required |
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
identifying relevant textile processes and production procedures
identifying physical and chemical properties of at least two (2) textile materials and the effects of textile processing on these properties
determining potential impact of textile processes and production procedures on textiles and associated materials
interpreting impact of textile processes and production procedures on textiles and associated materials accurately
conducting tests to determine effects of textile processing, as required
applying workplace procedures
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
textile industry terminology
physical properties of textiles and associated materials
chemical properties of textiles and associated materials:
fat content
chemical concentrations
physical properties of textiles and other materials:
weight or mass
density
length
strength
moisture content
standard textile treatments and processing techniques:
various production processes
dyeing and colouration
special treatment or finishing
printing
use in textile products
proofing techniques (e.g. water and flame)
standard textile test procedures
textile test equipment
international or workplace specification standards
quality criteria
quality practices
production processes

recording and reporting practices.
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 applying textile science, 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.
