Knowledge Evidence
types of tests, their purposes and functions, including:raw material applications (e.g. resin viscosity, specific gravity of resins and gelcoats, gel time, resin exotherm, monomer content, heat deflection temperature, styrene emission, resin colour, and gelcoat water resistance)laminate applications (e.g. Barcol hardness, tensile strength and elongation, compressive strength, flexural strength and flexural modulus, impact strength, glass content, water absorption, product weathering capabilities, dielectric strength, flammability, acid and alkali resistance, and thickness testing)test applications (e.g. comparing use of common resins and reinforcements in laminates, comparing the tensile strength of given laminates with metals, and comparing test failure modes of laminate samples with metals)materials, equipment and process interactions and their impacts on performancequality requirements at each stage of production product or material test performance indices within standard variation and standard response proceduresrole of testing in quality control and quality assurance proceduresrelevance of failure mode to fibre reinforced plastic laminate design effect of creep and fatigue on laminatesrelationship of laminate thickness to bonding and material propertiesspan and deflectionsafe test proceduresorganisation procedures relevant to the work environment/job rolehierarchy of controlhazards that may arise in the job/work environment and:their possible causes potential consequencesappropriate risk controls.
