This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to select specified reinforcement. It includes the science of reinforcing.

This unit does not cover the selection of reinforcing for a structurally designed composite, although it can include working with a person undertaking a structural design and it can cover the redesign of an existing product (e.g. using a different process) or the design of a new product similar to an existing product.

Where the selection of a suitable resin system is required unit MEM26008 Select and use resin systems appropriate for product should also be selected.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Band: A

Unit Weight: 4

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

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

(add new lines for each of the 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 field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.
Requirements of reinforcing include the following:	strength flexibility/rigidity directionality drape operating temperature
Most appropriate reinforcing includes the following:	compliance with product requirements greatest ease of use in manufacture best financial return greatest sustainability contribution
Areas for improvement include one (1) or more of the following:	cost/benefit of different reinforcing systems selecting a reinforcing suited to the fabrication process
Sustainability includes the following:	survival of the ecology/physical environment economic viability social sustainability

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.
