Description
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to assess available services and determine service requirements to achieve new fitted furniture design proposals. It includes determining and documenting service requirements in order to achieve new designs such as those for a kitchen or bathroom application.

adequacy of lighting
Implications of current services on design
Implications of current services on design may include:
requirements for relocation
relative costs associated with relocation
requirements for capacity increase
relative costs associated with increasing capacity
changes required for fixtures and fittings
Performance and characteristics
Performance and characteristics may include:
assessment of products to determine if they meet the requirements of the intended end use application and how well they do it
the durability and composition of the product
Electrical products
Electrical products may include:
refrigerator
stove
appliances
air conditioners
ventilation systems
hot water systems
Environmental considerations
Environmental considerations may include:
how the use of raw materials effects the ecology and environment and how its continued use will affect the area it has been sourced from
energy consumption in achieving the material
greenhouse gases created
waste levels
resource utilisation and transport effects
what impact will be felt by reducing or stopping material from the source
Costs
Costs may include:
the cost of contractors, products and materials together with the cost of obtaining them either locally, interstate or overseas
Plumbing products
Plumbing products may include:
water filters
tap ware and sinks
drainage
dishwasher
shower recesses

EVIDENCE GUIDE
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
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Identify available services and determine issues that will impact on design
Determine layout of services required to meet design brief
Complete industry standard drawings to identify the layout of services to meet design requirements
Context of and specific resources for assessment
The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace
Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints
Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context
Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements
The following resources should be made available:
workplace location or simulated workplace
tools and equipment to determine and document layout requirements
plans, drawings and manuals relating to project
Method of assessment
Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the Furnishing Industry Training Package
Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge
Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application
Assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process
Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances
Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency
