Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Transfer dimensions from a detail drawing to work or surface
   • Specifications and work requirements are determined and understood using correct and appropriate calculations.
   • Marking out is carried out to specifications or standard operating procedures using appropriate tools and equipment.
   • Datum points are established.
2. Make templates/patterns as required
   • Appropriate template/pattern material is chosen when required.
   • Required templates are produced to specifications.
   • Correct storage procedures are followed including labelling and identification to standard operating procedures.
3. Develop patterns and/or transfer measurements to structures
   • Most appropriate development and/or measurement sequence is chosen and applied.
   • Allowances for fabrication and assembly are correctly determined and transferred.
   • Measurement transfer/layout of components is checked to ensure accuracy/set out.
4. Interpret relevant codes, standards and symbols
   • Relevant standards/codes and symbols are interpreted.
   • Requirements of standards/codes are interpreted and applied to materials and processes.
5. Estimate quantities of materials from detail drawings
   • Materials are correctly identified.
   • Quantities are estimated from drawing.
   • Material wastage is minimised.

Required Skills

Evidence Required

The evidence guide specifies the evidence required to demonstrate achievement in the unit of competency as a whole It must be read in conjunction with the unit descriptor performance criteria range statement and the assessment guidelines for the Metal and Engineering Training Package
Overview of assessment requirements	A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to mark offout structural fabrications and shapes Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied
Context of 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
Interdependent assessment	This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety quality communication materials handling recording and reporting associated with marking offout structural fabrications and shapes 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
Consistency of performance	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
Required skills	Look for evidence that confirms skills in
	reading interpreting and following information on written job instructions specifications standard operating procedures charts lists drawings and other applicable reference documents
	undertaking numerical operations geometry and calculationsformulae within the scope of this unit
	planning and sequencing operations
	using techniques and equipment required for marking offout and developing patterns
	checking for conformance to specifications
	establishing and marking datum points
	developing patterns according to specification
	determining fabrication and assembly allowances and transferring to the pattern
	where applicable applying the requirements of the codesstandards during the geometric developmentmarking offout process
	determining material and component quantities from drawings and job specifications
	minimising material wastage
Required knowledge	Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of
	procedures for marking offout and pattern development
	the tools and equipment to be used in the preparation of the marking offout
	the datum points
	materials that can be used for the preparation of templates and their application
	the manufacturing allowances that have to be considered when developing patterns
	template labelling and identification procedures
	storage requirements of templates
	the appropriate methods of developmentmarking offout of a range of given objects
	the appropriate fabrication and assembly allowances
	the effects of material type and thickness on fabrication and assembly allowances
	the sources of data on fabrication and assembly allowances
	all relevant standards and codes and the meaning of symbols used
	the requirements of the codesstandards applicable to the work to be done
	the materials from which the componentassembly is to be manufactured
	the benefits of minimising material wastage
	any applicable industry standards nationalAustralian standards NOHSC guides StateTerritory regulatory codes of practicestandards

Range Statement

The range statement provides information about the context in which the unit of competency is carried out. The variables and scope cater for different work requirements, work practices and knowledge between States, Territories and the Commonwealth, and between organisations and workplaces. The range statement relates to the unit as a whole and provides a focus for assessment. Text in italics in the performance criteria is explained here. The following variables may be present and may include, but are not limited to, the examples listed under the scope. All work is undertaken to relevant legislative requirements, where applicable
