This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to set up, test, adjust, troubleshoot and quality assure a range of glass and glazing processing plant and equipment. It may involve non-numerical control (NC) and/or computer numerically controlled (CNC) production machines and processes for semi-automatic or automatic operation. Troubleshooting involves using testing equipment to identify problems and take corrective action.

This unit applies to plant technicians who resolve potentially complex equipment problems, sometimes in consultation with technical advisers.

No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.

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.

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.
