Application
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to produce clear or coloured sealed anodised films on aluminium and its alloys in applicable applications. Colouring is produced by dyeing or by 'in-bath' processes.
Where the interpretation of technical drawings is required unit MEM09002 Interpret technical drawing should also be selected.
Where the selection and use of engineering measurement is required unit MEM12023 Perform engineering measurements should also be selected.
Where the selection and use of tools is required unit MEM18001 Use hand tools and unit MEM18002 Use power tools/hand held operations, should also be selected as appropriate.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
