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.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Prepare for work | 1.1 | Work instructions are used to determine job requirements, including timings, equipment to be maintained and materials |
1.2 | Work health and safety (WHS) requirements, including ventilation and personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work |
1.3 | Tools, equipment and accessories are identified and checked for safe and effective operation |
1.4 | Work area is cleared of unwanted stock, products and materials |
1.5 | Equipment is isolated from power sources and made safe in accordance with site procedures |
2 | Maintain the equipment | 2.1 | Equipment is dismantled in accordance with manufacturer specifications and site procedures |
2.2 | Components are laid out in a logical re-assembly sequence |
2.3 | Components are cleaned and serviced using authorised materials and tools/equipment |
2.4 | Components are inspected and faulty items repaired, replaced or referred for further maintenance action |
2.5 | Equipment is re-assembled and operations are tested |
2.6 | Equipment maintenance is reported/recorded in accordance with site procedures |
3 | Maintain booths | 3.1 | Combustion and ignition sources are neutralised throughout the work sequence |
3.2 | Ventilation and other services are inspected for operation, cleaned out and, where appropriate, replenished, replaced or referred for further maintenance action |
3.3 | Surfaces and floors are cleaned and restored in accordance with site and industry standards |
3.4 | Materials and consumable stores are cleaned and restored in accordance with site, industry and regulatory standards |

prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
maintain required production output and product quality
Disassemble, maintain and re-assemble at least two (2) different spray systems
Maintain a booth and booth services on at least two (2) occasions
Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements
Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications and the reporting of work outcomes and problems, interpret basic plans and follow safety procedures
Minimise wastage of resources, including materials, time and money
Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity
Identification of spray system equipment, processes and procedures
Types, characteristics and maintenance requirements for spray booth services, including at a minimum, ventilation, lighting, water and electrical reticulation
Characteristics of spray coatings and base materials in terms of toxicity, reactivity and flammability
Types, characteristics, uses and limitations of cleaning solvents and agents

Assessors must:
hold training and assessment competencies as determined by the National Skills Standards Council (NSSC) or its successors
have vocational competency in the furnishing industry at least to the level being assessed with broad industry knowledge and experience, usually combined with a relevant industry qualification
be familiar with the current skills and knowledge used and have relevant, current experience in the furnishing industry.
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time rather than a single assessment event and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
Assessment must be by observation of relevant tasks with questioning on underpinning knowledge and, where applicable, multimedia evidence, supervisor’s reports, projects and work samples.
Assessment is to be conducted on single units of competency or in conjunction with other related units of competency. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance in the unit and should not be assessed separately.
Assessment must occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process, equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
Access is required to spray systems and equipment, spray booth, cleaning and maintenance materials.
