Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare refrigeration and air conditioning engineering project specification requirements
   • Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) procedures for relevant work area are identified and applied
2. Techniques for specification writing are reviewed and adopted in accordance with workplace procedures
3. Scope of the specification is determined using formal evaluation/survey processes
4. Criteria from other related works impacting on the specification are determined from relevant documentation, site visits and/or discussions with relevant person/s
5. Write refrigeration and air conditioning engineering project specification
   • Specification is developed to include scenarios/requirements determined in consultation with relevant person/s and regulatory requirements
6. Specification is developed in collaboration with relevant design professionals and contractors involved in the project
7. Competent person/s required for the project is identified and their roles specified in the specification
8. Project specification is reviewed and adjusted to rectify any anomalies
9. Project specification is developed in accordance with workplace procedures
10. Obtain approval for refrigeration and air conditioning engineering project specification
    • Project specification is presented and discussed with relevant person/s
11. Alteration/s to project specification resulting from discussions is negotiated with relevant person/s in accordance with workplace procedures
12. Project specification is finalised and approval obtained from relevant person/s
