Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Determine RE 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 other relevant documentation, site visits and/or discussions with relevant person/s
5. Write RE 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 role 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 RE engineering project specification
    • Project specification is presented and discussed with relevant person/s
11. Alterations to project specification resulting from discussions are negotiated with relevant person/s in accordance with workplace procedures
12. Project 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.
Writing specifications for RE engineering projects must include at least the following:	one medium-sized RE engineering project with the following attributes: meeting safety requirements determining client expectations applying cost-effective solutions designing and technical documentation requirements
