| The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. |

Legislative requirements | are to be in accordance with applicable legislation from all levels of government that affect organisational operationrequirements may include but not be limited to award and enterprise agreements, industrial relations, Australian Standards, confidentiality and privacy, OHS, the environment, equal opportunity, anti-discrimination, relevant industry codes of practice, duty of care and heritage |
Organisational requirements | may include but not be limited to legal, organisational and site guidelines, policies and procedures relating to own role and responsibility, quality assurance, procedural manuals, quality and continuous improvement processes and standards, OHS, emergency and evacuation, ethical standards, recording and reporting, access and equity principles and practices, equipment use, maintenance and storage, environmental management (waste disposal, recycling and re-use guidelines) |
Design brief | is to include the aims, objectives, milestones for the design project, the point of reference for everyone, elements and principles of design and may include organisational or personal profiles, aims, target audience, budget, timeline, consultation requirements, colour requirements, image requirements and function |
Appropriate personnel | may include but not be limited to trainers, supervisors, suppliers, clients, colleagues and managers |
Communication | may include verbal and non-verbal language, constructive feedback, active listening, questioning to clarify and confirm understanding, use of positive, confident and cooperative language, use of language and concepts appropriate to individual social and cultural differences, control of tone of voice and body language |
Material | may include but not be limited to native timber (native and imported), man-made timber products, plastic, metal, alloys, stones, glass, textiles, fibreglass, foam, cardboard, paper products or any other manipulable substance |
Sources | may include but not be limited to the origin of the raw material including, the type and location wood was derived from, how and where it was processed, graph impact growth and available seasoning lead time, the mining source of metal or alloys and how these were processed, the formulas for the composition of plastics, the origin of textiles and how these were milled |
Ecological and environmental impact | may include but not be limited to how the use of raw materials effects the ecology and environment and how its continued use will affect the area it has been sourced from, similarly what impact will be felt by reducing or stopping material from the source |
Documentation | may include but not be limited to working notes, hand written records, typed information and reports |
Elements of design | may include but not be limited to line, shape, form (geometric or organic), texture, colour and function |
Principles of design | may include but not be limited to balance, proportion (symmetry, asymmetry), harmony, contrast, pattern, movement, rhythm, unity, style, focus, scale, dominant, sub dominant or subordinate relationship, emphasis, proximity, alignment, space, anthropometry, ergonomics, arrangement, workload, materials handling capacity, skills, control, equipment capabilities, aesthetic relations, tension and development methods |
Concepts | are to include ideas generated to respond to the design brief through both ideation drawings or sketching and written explanation |
Sketches | may include but not be limited to hand drawn images or ideation drawings completed freehand |
Working drawings | may include but not be limited to drafted technical drawings or drawings produced on computer using computer aided drafting software packages. These usually contain project specifications |
Model | may include any three dimensional product which is made to full size or replicated through maquette. This is usually produced without normal manufacturing techniques, mainly to provide for the analysis of proportion, balance and aesthetic value |
Manufacturing process | may include but not be limited to the methods by which the product will be produced, these steps usually entail working from working drawings and specifications, producing components utilising machine operations, assembly of the components and finishing techniques |
Equipment | may include but not be limited to hand tools, static machinery, portable power tools and computer numerically controlled equipmentis to include procedures for lock out protecting operators and co-workers from accidental injury by isolating the machine from the power source |
Assembly methods | may include but not be limited to nailing, gluing, screwing, welding, pressing, sewing, bonding, jointing or connecting various materials |
Components | may include but not be limited to the parts which make up the whole of a product. Each component is often requires some level of machining to result in the desire part |

Packaging and despatch | may include but not be limited to wrapping in fabric, plastic wrapping, shrink wrapping, boxing, foam shells and despatch by truck, trailer, train, plane or ship |
Product lifecycle | is the evolution of a product from its raw source, through its inception, development, manufacture, completion and time as a completed product until potential renewal |
