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.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Select coatings, adhesives and additives | 1.1 Coatings, adhesives and additives are selected according to job specifications 1.2 Suitability of coatings, adhesives and additives are checked and appropriate action is taken to meet quality standards of client requirements, and enterprise and industry standards 1.3 Coatings, adhesives and additives are selected according to suitability of substrate, physical and chemical properties and performance |
2. Prepare coatings, adhesives and additives | 2.1 Coatings, adhesives and additives are prepared according to Work Health and Safety (WHS) requirements and manufacturer’s/supplier’s instructions with suitable precautions to minimise waste 2.2 Correct weight/volume of coatings, adhesives and additives are mixed and prepared to match job specification and the process to be used 2.3 Formulation of coatings, adhesives and additives is appropriately recorded |
3. Store and handle coatings, adhesives and additives | 3.1 Coatings, adhesives and additives are appropriately stored, handled and labelled according to manufacturer’s/supplier’s instructions to prevent damage or hazards to personnel 3.2 Coatings, adhesives and additives are stored and used in a manner that ensures use before use-by dates |
Evidence of the ability to:
correctly prepare coatings and adhesives according to job specifications
prepare TWO different coatings or adhesives for specific end-use requirements to meet job and workplace specifications.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
summarise selection of coatings/adhesives to match process and job requirements
describe how to determine suitability of the coatings/adhesives for the particular process
explain how characteristics of coatings/adhesives are matched to the job/substrate
explain how to determine if coatings/adhesives adhere to the substrate
identify health and safety concerns related to preparation, handling and storage of coatings/adhesives
outline correct handling procedures
describe details required to calculate quantities of coatings/adhesives
describe details required to record the formulation of coatings/adhesives
identify environmental conditions relevant to the storage of coatings/adhesives
outline conventions for labelling coatings/adhesives
identify required manuals, safety and other documentation and briefly outline the relevant information in each source.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the Support field of work and include access to coatings, adhesives and substrates.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
