Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to service an electrical heating appliance. Competency in this unit requires the ability to work safely, apply knowledge of electric heating appliances, test heating appliance functions, locate and rectify faults and defective components, and complete all required service documentation.Individuals will typically work independently to service and repair electric heating appliances.The skills and knowledge described in this unit require a licence or permit to practice in the workplace where work is carried out on electrical installations which are designed to operate at voltages greater than 50 volt (V) alternating current (a.c.) or 120 V direct current (d.c.). Competency development activities in this unit are subject to regulations directly related to licensing. Where a licence or permit to practice is not held, a relevant contract of training, such as an Australian Apprenticeship, is required. Additional and/or other conditions may apply in some jurisdictions subject to regulations related to electrical work. Practice in the workplace and during training is also subject to work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations.
