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.

stitch requirements
pressing such as steam, heat, iron
Tools and equipment may include
tape measure
pen/pencil
measurement or size chart or table
eraser

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

reporting accidents and incidents
other OHS practices relevant to the job and enterprise
Garment measurements
Garment measurements include circumference and linear measurements that may include:
measuring across the top of the shoulder of the garment
sleeve
underarm to side seam
neck circumference
waist circumference
Garment measurement table is
the measurements of the garment not the body measurements such as hem width, sleeve length, etc. and is derived from the pattern
Grading increments may include

Faults may include
material faults such as weak spots, pilling, bleeding
construction process faults such as broken thread, inappropriate seams, seam finishing, seam puckering, needle damage
labelling and specifications faults such as incorrect care label and instructions, incorrect size

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:
interpret relevant work instructions, standards and specifications
measure and check the relevant quality parameters
interpret the results of quality checks in terms of specifications, patterns and work standards
ake action as required where quality assurance has not been meet
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.
