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.
Machines may include:
range of corrugating machines with manual, semi-automated and fully automated process control systems.
In-line processes may include:
range of wax and coating systems operations, slitters and cutters. Note that slitting and cutting may be separately assessable as flat-bed or rotary cutting.
Substrate types may include:
range of substrates within the major categories of board or paper.
Substrate handling may include:
wide reel handling systems.
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

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the following is essential:
set up the reel in-feed, splicer, pre-conditioner, pre-heater, single facer, curing, coating and/or waxing sections of a corrugator
set up the reel in-feed, splicer, pre-conditioner, pre-heater, single facer, curing, coating and/or waxing sections of a corrugator for at least TWO different product runs, according to manufacturer's and job specifications, enterprise procedures and the listed Performance Criteria
evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity.

Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of these. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment
in-line corrugating machinery.

Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.

Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:
ICPCF220C Produce basic converted or finished product
ICPCF231C Set up machine for basic flat-bed cutting
ICPCF235C Set up machine for basic rotary cutting
ICPCF281C Set up machine for basic laminating
ICPCF3105C Produce single-faced web
ICPSU201C Prepare, load and unload reels and cores on and off machine.
