Application
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to create new commercial masterkey systems and expand existing keying systems, using even cut and rotating constant progression methods.
It applies to masterkey systems written manually and using a computer masterkeying package for high security cylinders, primarily for commercial operations.
Where standard hierarchical keying is required unit MEM20007 Plan and prepare a masterkey system should also be selected.
Where a security survey/site assessment is required unit MEM20014 Perform a site security survey should also be selected.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Band:
This unit has dual status and is to be regarded as both a Specialisation Band A unit and Specialisation Band B unit for progression to C5 (AQF level V).
Unit Weight: 6
