This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to check measuring equipment for correct operation and validate/calibrate precision measuring equipment in accordance with predetermined procedures.It applies to the calibration skills used in the setting, adjustment, validation or verification of precision mechanical and/or electrical/electronic measuring instruments using reference standards. This involves the use of electronic setting equipment and the selection or determination of an appropriate external standard. Where interpretation of technical drawings is required unit MEM09002 Interpret technical drawing should also be selected.This unit is not meant to apply to simple zeroing, external adjustment or manual adjustment for size range, e.g. micrometres. These skills are covered by units:MEM12023 Perform engineering measurementsMEM12003 Perform precision mechanical measurementMEM12004 Perform precision electrical/electronic measurement.There may be occasions when both pathways units MEM12003 Perform precision mechanical measurement and MEM12002 Perform electrical/electronic measurement will be required. Where additional electrical/electronic measurement skills are required unit MEM12004 Perform precision electrical/electronic measurement should also be selected.Competence in this unit does not require the level of skill that applies to calibration as defined in ISO 9000 and/or carried out by personnel accredited under ISO/IEC 17025/NATA certification or similar. Unit MEM15010 Perform laboratory procedures should be considered for this level of calibration.Where reference standards only are to be verified under laboratory conditions unit MEM15022 Verify reference standards should also be selected.Where the selection and use of hand tools is required unit MEM18001 Use hand tools should also be selected.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Band: BUnit Weight: 6
