Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Interpret specifications and organise materials
   • Specifications are interpreted to determine the dimensions and procedure for fabrication
   • Appropriate materials, tools and equipment are selected and prepared for the particular specification requirements
2. Fabricate/repair electrical components or parts
   • Assembly or fabrication jigs, where applicable, are aligned to ensure accurate fabrication of components
   • Components or parts are fabricated in accordance with required specifications
3. Test fabricated/repaired components or parts
   • Test equipment and rigs are used, where applicable, to confirm serviceability of finished components
   • Fabricated components are tagged, sealed and packaged within specified procedures

Required Skills

Evidence Required

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package
Overview of assessment	A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to fabricate aircraft electrical looms cables and harnesses in accordance with applicable standards and specifications while observing all relevant safety precautions
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	The underlying skills inherent in this unit should be transferable into other areas that require similar techniques It is essential that the general aspects of material specification and selection measurement and fabricationmanufacture are related to specific aircraft component applications Evidence of knowledge about individual components and their links with systems will be necessary to supplement evidence of ability to interpret requirements and fabricate components before undertaking any action The work plan should take account of applicable safety and quality requirements in accordance with the industry and regulatory standards A person cannot be assessed as competent until it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the workplace assessor that the relevant elements of the unit of competency are being achieved under routine supervision on a representative range of tasks from Groups to in the Range Statement This shall be established via the records in the Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement or where appropriate an equivalent Industry Evidence Guide
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Competency should be assessed in the work environment or simulated work environment using tools and equipment specified by aircraft in the maintenance manuals It is also expected that general purpose tools and test equipment found in most routine situations would be used where appropriate
