Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Read and understand job sheets.
- 1.1. Job sheets and instructions are understood and followed correctly.
2. Select assembly equipment
- 2.1. Assembly equipment is selected and used in accordance with instructions or job sheets to standard operating procedures.
- 2.2. Equipment is used in a safe manner.
3. Identify electronic/electrical components
- 3.1. Common name, appearance, colour of electronic and electrical components are identified.
- 3.2. Polarity indicators are identified on components.
4. Assemble components
- 4.1. Correct components are selected by code/colour or other identification methods.
- 4.2. Components/devices are prepared for soldering or other termination methods.
- 4.3. Cables are connected to a variety of plug and socket combinations as required.
- 4.4. Components are safely handled and stored using appropriate anti-static handling procedures and techniques in accordance with standard operating procedures.
- 4.5. Assembly is produced following correct sequence of operations.
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.

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
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to perform electrical/electronic assembly (production).
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and to be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.
This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with electronic/electrical assembly (production) or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit.
Method of assessment
Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials.
