Knowledge evidence may be collected concurrently with performance evidence or through an independent process such as workbooks, written assessments or interviews (provided a record is kept in each case). This unit of competency may be assessed with: MSMTMINS301 Inspect a range of simple measures MSMTMINS302 Inspect a range of simple measuring instruments MSMTMINS401 Inspect a range of weighing instruments MSMTMINS402 Inspect liquid measuring instruments using volume measures Holistic assessment methods include: review of inspection reports prepared by the candidate feedback from supervisors and peers regarding the candidate's ability to inspect a range of pre-packaged products and evaluate a trader’s measuring procedures and instruments in accordance with legislative and organisational procedures questions to assess understanding of relevant procedures, licensing requirements, trader obligations and remedial actions review of candidate’s responses to inspection scenarios, such as potential/actual non-compliances and appropriate actions, common issues and problems observation of the candidate conducting an inspection of a trader’s range of pre-packaged products, measuring procedures and instruments.
