Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Plan and prepare work
  • Work instructions are used to determine job requirements, including design, colour, finish process and quality
  • OHS requirements, including personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work
  • Colour matching aids and colouring materials are accessed and readied for use
  • Types of colouring materials are identified and prepared for colouring task
  • Tools, equipment and accessories are identified and checked for safe and effective operation
       
Element: Match colours
  • Surfaces are cleaned and prepared to enable accurate colour matching
  • Characteristics of the surface and the impact of these on colouring are taken into account
  • Techniques for colour application are identified and selected according to workplace practices
  • Properties of colouring agents are assessed in relation to the specific circumstances
  • Colour matching techniques are applied to identify most likely fits in terms of product, colour and application techniques
  • Colour matching outcomes are confirmed through trials of proposed products, colours and application techniques
  • Colour matching formulae are recorded to enterprise or industry standards
       
Element: Make up colours
  • Product quantities are identified from client demand or accurate assessment of coating/colouring requirement
  • Colouring additives are calculated from manufacturer specifications
  • Colouring additives are accurately measured and blended with the base product
       
Element: Apply colours
  • Colour solution is applied in accordance with selected application techniques and workplace procedures
  • Colour application is constantly checked against sample colour
  • Surface is inspected for faults in applied colour film and defects are rectified
  • Coloured or matched up surface is sealed with finishing material in accordance with job specification and workplace procedures
       
Element: Clean up
  • Colouring materials are stored and labelled ready for next process
  • Waste and unwanted material is disposed of safely and in accordance with relevant environmental regulations
  • Unused materials are sealed and stored
  • Tools and equipment are cleaned, maintained and stored
       


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Critical Aspects of Evidence

Locate, interpret and apply information relevant to the colour matching equipment

Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to:

minimise the risk of injury to self and others

prevent damage to goods, equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

Accurately colour match using pigments and/or stains on a minimum of five occasions

Record colour formulae for production situations

Work effectively with others

Resource Implications

Safe work area, sample colouring requirements, colouring agents, base coating products, mixing and testing equipment and cleaning equipment and materials.

Method of Assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.

Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other relevant units of competency.

Context of Assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

collect, organise and understand information related to colour matching processes, products and techniques, work orders, plans, and safety procedures

communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, coordination of work with site supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

plan and organise activities, including the preparation and layout of the worksite and the obtaining of equipment and materials to avoid any backtracking, workflow interruptions or wastage

work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area, calculate colouring ratios and estimate material requirements

use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate colour matching problems, avoid re-working and wastage

use the limited workplace technology related to colour matching aids, tools, equipment, calculators and measuring devices

Required knowledge

the types, characteristics and degradation patterns of coatings and stains

the properties of coated and stained surface materials and the impact of these on colouring

the types, characteristics, uses and limitations of colouring agents

the types, uses and limitations of matching aids

product catalogues and other information systems

material safety management systems and related safety requirements

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.

Unit context

OHS requirements may include legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous substances and dangerous goods codes and local safe operating procedures

Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, relevant health regulations, manual handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements

Work requires individuals to demonstrate some discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the accurate matching of colours

Tools and equipment may include:

mixing pots

brushes

spray equipment and mechanical mixer/vibrator

colour rubber

colour wad

Materials may include:

spirit-based stains

pigments

lacquers

oil varnish

two-part polyurethane

methylated spirits

lacquer thinners

mineral turpentine and polish

Colouring agents may include:

pigments

dyes

stains

universal tinters and toning lacquer

Properties of colouring agents may include but not be limited to:

colour

specific gravity

staining power

refractive power

texture

durability

opacity

spreading power

toxicity and oil absorptive power

Personal protective equipment

Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise policies and practices

Information and procedures

Manufacturer specifications and operational procedures

Work instructions, including job sheets, plans, drawings and designs

Workplace procedures relating to reporting and communication

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
