Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare specification requirements
   • Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) processes and workplace procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and applied
2. Techniques for specification writing are reviewed and applied in accordance with workplace procedures
3. Relevant person/s is consulted and/or site visits conducted to identify other works impacting on specification
   • Specification is developed to include scenarios/requirements in consultation with relevant person/s and in accordance with relevant industry standards
4. Specification is developed in collaboration with relevant design professional/s and/or contractor/s involved in the project
5. Relevant person/s required for the project is identified and their role/s specified in the specification
6. Specification is reviewed against all inputs and adjusted to rectify any anomalies
7. Specification is developed in accordance with workplace procedures
8. Obtain approval of specification
   • Specification is presented and discussed with relevant person/s
9. Alterations to the specification resulting from the discussion are negotiated with relevant person/s in accordance with workplace procedures
10. Specification is finalised and approval obtained from relevant person/s

Range Statement

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment. Non-essential conditions may be found in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide.
Developing specifications must include at least one medium-sized electrical engineering project with the following attributes:	safety requirements met client expectations established cost-effective solutions pursued and assured design and technical requirements documented

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions on at least one occasion and include:

establishing the scope and parameters of the specification determining the impact of other related works developing the specification incorporating scenarios and all requirements identifying competencies required for the specification writing specifications negotiating alterations to the proposed specification successfully obtaining approval of the final specification dealing with unplanned events applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, including using risk control measures establishing the specification using formal evaluations/surveys preparing specification requirements.
