Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Mark off/out fabrications
   • Specifications and work requirements are determined using correct calculations appropriate to the task.
   • Development is carried out to specifications or standard operating procedures using tools and equipment appropriate to the task.
   • Datum points are correctly established and indicated.
   • Allowances are correctly determined and marked (thickness, bend, pitch, angle, circumference, perimeter).
2. Make templates as required
   • Template material is selected appropriate to the marking out requirements.
   • Templates are accurately produced.
   • Allowances are correctly determined and transferred.
   • Templates for rolling, bending, pressing, drilling and profiling are accurately produced.
   • Correct storage procedures are followed including labelling and identification to standard operating procedures.
3. Develop patterns as required
   • The most appropriate development method for the task is chosen and applied.
   • Allowances are correctly determined and transferred.
4. Interpret relevant codes, standards and symbols
   • Relevant standards/codes and symbols are interpreted.
   • Requirements of standards/codes are interpreted and applied to materials and processes.
5. Estimate quantities of materials from engineering drawings
   • Materials are correctly identified.
   • Quantities are estimated from drawings.
   • Material use is optimised and wastage is minimised.

Evidence Required

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package
Overview of assessment	A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to mark out complex cylindricalrectangular fabrications Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria including required knowledge and to be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts
Context of and specific resources for assessment	This unit may be assessed on the job off the job or a combination of both on and off the job Where assessment occurs off the job that is the candidate is not in productive work then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety quality communication materials handling recording and reporting associated with advanced geometric development or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit
Method of assessment	Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid sufficient current and authentic Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation supervisors reports project work samples and questioning Questioning should not require language literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit The candidate must have access to all tools equipment materials and documentation required The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures product and manufacturing specifications codes standards manuals and reference materials

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Fabrications	May include hoppers, chutes and other items involving compound bends and double offsets
Allowances	Thickness, bend, pitch, angle, circumference, perimeter
Template material	Steel plate, perspex, timber
Templates produced	For rolling, bending, pressing, drilling and profiling
Storage procedures	Labelling, identification, e.g. template lofts
Development method	May include parallel line, radial line and triangulation
