Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least two (2) occasions and include:

• following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices
• identifying and interpreting specifications, charts, lists, drawings and other applicable reference documents to carry out complex grinding operations
• dressing grinding wheel to form and size
• setting up work pieces for the operations and selecting suitable tools and accessories
• undertaking numerical operations, geometry and calculations for specialised complex grinding operations
• carrying out a range of complex grinding operations
• checking components for conformance to specifications using precision measuring instruments
• rectifying non-compliant product.

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate the required knowledge for this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

• safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
• reasons for selecting the chosen sequence of complex grinding operations
• function and application of work holding devices/accessories appropriate to complex grinding
• appropriate techniques, tools and equipment to measure machined components
• tools, techniques and equipment for checking components for conformance to specifications and rectifying non-compliant components.

Assessment Conditions

• Assessors must:

• have vocational competency in performing complex grinding operations at least to the level being assessed with relevant industry knowledge and experience
• satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 or its replacement and comply with the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011, its replacementor equivalent legislation covering VET regulation in a non-referring state/territory as the case requires.

• Assessment must occur in a functioning workplace. Where assessment in the workplace would be unsafe, impractical or threatens the environment, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment that reflects the circumstances that would be experienced in a functioning workplace. Assessment must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
• Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications.
• Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
