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 SOPs |
| 1.4 | Identify job requirements from specifications, drawings, job sheets or work instructions |
|
2 | Interpret finishing specifications | 2.1 | Interpret specifications applying to textile finishing process from data sheets, production schedules or process specifications |
| 2.2 | Determine type, quantity and quality of materials required for the textile finishing, and test, as required, to confirm material specifications |
| 2.3 | Identify and consider implications of specifications on process in determining process requirements |
| 2.4 | Clarify specifications as required using appropriate information resources |
|
3 | Determine procedures for textile finishing | 3.1 | Identify finishing process most appropriate to required outcomes |
| 3.2 | Select required equipment, tools and materials and evaluate for purpose |
| 3.3 | Use appropriate calculations to determine material requirements |
| 3.4 | Determine finishing procedures, formulas and relevant specifications, and document using standard procedures |
|
4 | Confirm finishing | 4.1 | Test and validate textile finishing procedures and formulas |
| 4.2 | Identify and document deviations from specifications and conduct further testing to determine variations required to procedures |
| 4.3 | Adjust finishing procedures and formulas, as required, to meet specifications |
| 4.4 | Document textile finishing procedures and communicate to appropriate personnel for future application |
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
interpreting specifications relevant to textile finishing from data sheets, production schedules or process specifications
determining type, quantity and quality of materials required for the textile finishing, and testing, as required, to confirm material specifications
determining finishing procedures, formulas and relevant specifications, and documenting using standard procedures, on at least two (2) occasions
completing accurate textile calculations
testing and validating textile finishing procedures and formulas
identifying and documenting deviations from specifications and conducting further testing to determine variations required to procedures
adjusting finishing procedures and formulas as required to meet specifications
documenting textile finishing procedures and communicating to appropriate personnel for future application.
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
international specification standards
textile, clothing and footwear (TCF) production processes
TCF products and materials
systems and formula used in textile calculations
properties of materials
finishing processes
finishing equipment, tools and materials
quality criteria
quality practices
workplace structures and communication channels
workplace procedures
practices for recording and reporting.
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 textile finishing processes, 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.
