The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. |

Flake | is the output product as a result of converting wood, wood dust, planer shavings, shredded board or woodchips into flake which is then used to produce panel products |
Classifying | is the separation of flake into size categories, species, core fraction, surface fraction, overs and dust |
Assessing is to include: | screen fractions species size moisture content contamination issues associated with selected flake |
Stockpile | is the piles of available wood flake ready for classification to size and species |
Equipment may include: | classifiers flake towers screens sifters silos mechanised feed systems and is to include: procedures for equipment lock-out, ie protecting operators and co-workers from accidental injury by isolating the machine from the power source |

Pre start-up checks | are conducted to ensure: machine has been set-up correctly systems are performing accurately machinery is operating to optimum performance |
Screens | are the sorting devices which separate flake according to size and type |
Feed systems may include: | conveyors transfer cars or chutes which continually provide flake to the classifier |
Silos | are large storage towers or buildings where classified flake is pumped to in readiness for downstream production |
Transfer is to include: | the process of moving the classified flake from the classifier to the silos and may include: regular feed systems blow lines drag chains |
Emergency shutdown | is the immediate shutting off of equipment to prevent an accident or prevent damage to the machine or product |
