Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

8) This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit. Evidence shall show that knowledge has been acquired of safe working practices and finding and repairing faults in microwave heating apparatus. All knowledge and skills detailed in this unit should be contextualised to current industry practices and technologies. KS01-EH123A Microwave heating apparatus Evidence shall show an understanding of microwave heating apparatus fault finding and repair, applying safe working practices and relevant Standards, Codes and Regulations to an extent indicated by the following aspects: T1. Propagation of electromagnetic waves through the atmosphere, microwave frequency bands T2. Microwave heating devices encompassing: Components Operating parameters and constraints Measurements, test equipment and testing techniques T3. EMI/EMC, generation, suppression and reduction.

10) This relates to the unit as a whole providing the range of contexts and conditions to which the performance criteria apply. It allows for different work environments and situations that will affect performance. This unit shall be demonstrated in relation to finding and repairing at least four faults in two different microwave heating devices. Generic terms used throughout this Vocational Standard shall be regarded as part of the Range Statement in which competency is demonstrated. The definition of these and other terms that apply are given in Volume 2, Part 2.1.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
