Elements and Performance Criteria

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. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.
Legislative/regulatory requirements
All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements.
Sizing system may include:
women's sizes such as 10, 12, 14, 16, etc.
men's sizes such as 92, 95, 95, etc.
women's bra sizes such as 12A, 12B, 12C, 12D, 12DD, etc.
children's sizes such as 1-7, 8-12, etc.
babies' sizes such as 0000, 000, 00, 0
Body measurements
Body measurements must include all measurements as required for labelling according to legislation requirements which may include:
height and weight
reference points such as nape, waist point, seat vertex, abdomen vertex, carpus, neck base, upper sternum, bust point, pelvic bone
levels such as crown, shoulder, armscye, bust or chest, waist, hip, crotch, knee
girth measurements such as waist, bust or chest, hip, high hip, upper and under bust, head circumference, upper arm, wrist, thigh, calf, ankle, heel/instep
horizontal measurements such as shoulder, shoulder breadth, across front, across back, bust point to bust point
vertical measurements such as nape to centre back waist, nape to neck base, nape to bust or chest, nape to waist, nape to wrist, centre front waist to floor, centre back waist to floor, right-hand side waist to floor, left-hand side waist to floor, waist to hip, inside leg, body rise, arm length, neck length
cup size
shoe size
seat prominence
thigh
knee
instep
calf
posture
Body characteristics may include:
genetic, developmental and structural influences
shape classifications such as hourglass, rectangular, pear, inverted triangle
anthropometric classifications - somatotypes
shoulder slope - raised, normal, sloping
body sway and postural asymmetry - according to lower and upper body
proportions - tall, short or average, short or long waisted, mid-body shortness
Inappropriate sizing may mean:
that the proportion of the design will be lost if the size varies significantly from the fit model or the intended purpose of the design
OHS practices
OHS practices must include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit and may include:
manual handling techniques
standard operating procedures
personal protective equipment
safe materials handling
taking of rest breaks
ergonomic arrangement of workplaces
following marked walkways
safe storage of equipment
housekeeping
reporting accidents and incidents
other OHS practices relevant to the job and enterprise

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Critical aspects of evidence
Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:
describe national and international sizing
scope and interpret design brief
analyse and assess sizing for design
apply OHS practices in work operations
maintain accurate records

Consistency in performance
Consistently applies skills and knowledge when:
organising work
completing tasks
identifying improvements
using workplace practices
using OHS practices
recording and reporting accidents and incidents
assessing operational readiness of equipment used and work processes
recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions
completing work systematically with attention to detail without damage to goods and equipment

Resource implications
Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Context for assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment.

Interdependent assessment
This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units.
