This unit does not cover the selection of reinforcing for a structurally designed composite, although it may include working with a person undertaking a structural design. It may 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.
This unit does not include the selection of a suitable resin system. Where the resin system also needs to be chosen refer to MEM26008A Select and use resin systems appropriate for product.
Reinforcing selection may typically be undertaken by an individual in liaison with relevant stakeholders or it may undertaken by a team. Selection may be undertaken in an office environment or at the worksite.
Use of the reinforcing will be part of a fabrication and may be undertaken by an individual or a team. It may be undertaken in a workshop or factory environment or in the field and may be used to manufacture new products, prototypes and samples, or to make repairs.
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to select specified reinforcement for a nominated job from what is normally used by organisation, as well as what is available commercially. It includes the science of reinforcing.
