Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Inspect and prepare installation site
   • Site is checked for correct location, dimension and levels etc. utilising appropriate measuring equipment.
   • Non-compliance with specification is reported to appropriate authority.
   • Alteration/correction is undertaken with approval of appropriate authority.
   • All surfaces, materials and components are prepared for use.
2. Install machine/plant
   • All work is carried out safely and in accordance with site procedures and to Australian standards.
   • Machine components are prepared for correct sequential installation.
   • Machine/plant is installed in accordance with manufacturers' and site specifications.
   • Routine modifications/alterations are undertaken to standard operating procedures where required.
   • Machine/plant is levelled, aligned, coupled and connected (excluding electrical connections) in accordance with specifications.
   • Site is cleaned and cleared of all debris and left in safe state.
   • All reports and documentation are completed correctly to required specifications.

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 install machineplant requiring substantial modification to the existing site andor connecting equipment excluding minor modifications Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied
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 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 installing machineplant 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.
Machine/plant	Rotating equipment and machinery such as pumps, blowers, compressors, drive units, etc., production equipment and plant, process equipment, plant and machinery, engineering plant and machine tools etc.
Routine modifications/alterations	Fitting of spacers, relocation of brackets, alignment of holes etc.
