Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Read and understand job sheets.
   • Job sheets and instructions are understood and followed correctly.
2. Select assembly equipment
   • Assembly equipment is selected and used in accordance with instructions or job sheets to standard operating procedures.
   • Equipment is used in a safe manner.
3. Identify electronic/electrical components
   • Common name, appearance, colour of electronic and electrical components are identified.
   • Polarity indicators are identified on components.
4. Assemble components
   • Correct components are selected by code/colour or other identification methods.
   • Components/devices are prepared for soldering or other termination methods.
   • Cables are connected to a variety of plug and socket combinations as required.
   • Components are safely handled and stored using appropriate anti-static handling procedures and techniques in accordance with standard operating procedures.
   • Assembly is produced following correct sequence of operations.

Required Skills

Required skills

Look for evidence that confirms skills in reading interpreting and following assembly job sheets instructions and standard operating procedures selecting appropriate tools and equipment using tools and equipment selecting electronic and electrical components by name colour and appearance preparing componentsdevices for soldering and termination connecting cables to plugssockets handling and storing components safely applying antistatic handling procedures and techniques checking work for conformance to specification completing production records and reports following oral instructions using hand and power tools dedicated to the assembly process identifying components by name appearance and colour entering routine and familiar information onto proforma and standard workplace forms

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of assembly equipment and its application hazards associated with the misuse of tools and equipment polarity indicators on common electronic and electrical components consequences of connecting electronic and electrical components with incorrect polarity termination methods preparation requirements for componentsdevices to be soldered preparation requirements for componentsdevices to be terminated using nonsoldering techniques connection requirements of a variety of plugs and sockets antistatic procedures and techniques safe handling and storage requirements of electrical and electronic components consequences of not following the correct sequence of operations specifications against which the assembly is to be checkedtested testcheck procedures data recording requirements

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 perform electricalelectronic assembly production
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria including required knowledge and to be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts
Context of and specific resources for assessment	This unit may be assessed on the job off the job or a combination of both on and off the job Where assessment occurs off the job that is the candidate is not in productive work then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety quality communication materials handling recording and reporting associated with electronicelectrical assembly production or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit
Method of assessment	Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid sufficient current and authentic Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation supervisors reports project work samples and questioning Questioning techniques should not require language literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency The candidate must have access to all tools equipment materials and documentation required The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures product and manufacturing specifications codes standards manuals and reference materials

Range Statement

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.
