This Skill Set is appropriate for experienced personnel such as fitters, mechanics, instrument manufacturers or importers and software developers who wish to work under a servicing licence to verify limited weighing instruments used in trade measurement. Examples of limited weighing instruments include, non-automatic weighing machines tested without substitution loads, automatic Class Y(a) Catchweighers and automatic Class Y(b) Catchweighers.
This Skill Set reflects the minimum requirements for licensing. However, the regulator or individual traders may impose additional requirements before a verifier can start work on some sites. Entrants to this Skill Set should have sufficient workplace skills in OH&S, communication and teamwork that provide underpinning competency to acquire and apply the Skill Set.
