Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Prepare for work |
1.1. Characteristics of the surface and the required surface coating are identified from work orders or instructions 1.2. Processing and application techniques, time and safety requirements are identified and used for work planning 1.3. OHS requirements, including ventilation requirements and personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work 1.4. Tools, equipment and accessories are identified and checked for safe and effective operation for the surface coating task 1.5. Coating materials are identified and prepared |
2. Check and prepare for spraying |
2.1. Products with surface or other faults are identified and faults reported or repaired as appropriate 2.2. Other products and equipment in the workplace are protected from overspray 2.3. Trial applications of surface materials are made to check equipment operation, materials consistency and specified surface finish 2.4. Machine faults are identified and rectified or reported 2.5. Material faults are identified and workplace procedures for rectification are followed |
3. Apply surface coating |
3.1. Surfaces are kept free of contamination 3.2. Surface coatings are applied according to workplace procedures 3.3. Surface coating viscosity and coverage is monitored and checked against workplace requirements for even spread and thickness 3.4. Rectification of surface faults are made as required 3.5. Products are inspected and approved for suitability for further processing 3.6. Defects are dealt with and/or reported in accordance with workplace procedures |
4. Clean work area and maintain equipment |
4.1. Equipment is cleaned and inspected for serviceable condition and stored appropriately 4.2. Unserviceable equipment is tagged, faults are identified and appropriate personnel are informed 4.3.

Evidence Guide
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. |
|
Critical Aspects of Evidence |
|
Resource Implications |
CNC coating systems and equipment, spray booth, coatings and cleaning products. |
Method of Assessment |
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts. Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge. Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other relevant units of competency. |
Context of Assessment |
Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines. |
