Unit of Competency | LMTCL2003B - Identify fibres and fabrics |
---|---|---|---|
Description | This unit covers the skills and knowledge to identify fibres and fabrics commonly used in the construction of garments and accessories. | ||
Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
Learning Outcomes and Application | The unit applies to identifying a wide range of fibres and fabrics used in the clothing industry. Fibres include natural and synthetic, and fabrics include knitted, woven and non-woven.Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities.The application of this unit is according to OHS practices of the enterprise and workplace practices, which may include:requirements prescribed by legislation, awards, agreements and conditions of employmentstandard operating procedureswork instructionsoral, written and visual communicationquality practices, including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team or section outputhousekeepingtasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control, and recyclingThis unit requires the application of skills associated with problem solving to identify types and characteristics of fibres and fabrics. Learning and self management skills are required to apply knowledge of fibres and fabrics and communication skills are used to explain and describe information about fabric properties. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. |

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, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | ||
Critical aspects of evidence | Demonstrates skills and knowledge to: identify fibres and fabrics identify fabric construction processes identify fabric qualities identify fabric uses within TCF industry | |
Consistency in performance | Consistently applies skills and knowledge when: organising work completing tasks according to instructions working systematically with attention to detail identifying improvements and avoiding damage using workplace practices using OHS practices recording and reporting accidents and incidents assessing operational readiness of equipment recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions | |
Resource implications | Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices. | |
Context for assessment | Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment. | |
Interdependent assessment | This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units. |

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.
This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit. |
Demonstrates knowledge of: information sources on fibre and fabric identification fabrics used in the workplace quality standards and practices OHS practices, including hazard identification and control measures workplace practices recording and reporting practices |
Demonstrates skills to: identify features of fibres and fabrics access information as required read, interpret and follow information on work specifications, standard operating procedures and work instructions, and other reference material maintain accurate records communicate within the workplace sequence operations meet specifications clarify and check task-related information carry out work according to OHS practices |
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. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts. | |
Legislative/regulatory requirements | All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements. |
Fibres may include: | natural fibres such as cotton, wool, silk, linen synthetic fibres such as polyamide, polyester, acrylic, lycra, rayon, acetate |
Methods may include: | labelling visual handle acetone burn test |
Fabrics may include: | natural and synthetic single yarn fabrics and blends knitted fabrics including weft knits and warp knits woven fabrics including plain, twill, satin, dobby, jacquard and pile non-woven fabrics such as felts, nets, braids, bonded and composite emerging smart fabrics |
Construction processes may include: | spinning knitting weaving blending fusing bonding finishing |
Physical qualities include: | firmness softness handle weight grain gauge drape porosity covering power count light penetration |
Visual qualities include: | colours textures patterns right side/wrong side |
Fabric characteristics may include: | bias stretch fraying feel handle shrinkage |
OHS practices | OHS practices include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit, and may relate to: manual handling techniques standard operating procedures personal protective equipment safe materials handling taking of rest breaks ergonomic arrangement of workplaces following marked walkways safe storage of equipment housekeeping reporting accidents and incidents environmental practices |
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.
