Application

This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to assemble and install equipment and ancillaries/accessories.

Work is undertaken using new external and internal locations and sites and foundations, footings, beds and framework are completed prior to installation practices.

It does not cover installation requiring substantial modification to the existing site or where components are replaced by the same or similar type.

Where production-related assembly work is undertaken unit MEM03002 Perform precision assembly should also be selected.

Where installation requires substantial modification to the existing site, and is being replaced by the same or similar type unit MEM10006 Install machine/plant should also be selected.

Where load shifting equipment is required to be used unit MEM11010 Operate mobile load shifting equipment should also be selected.

Where positions are determined, alignments are undertaken and testing within manufacturer specifications is required unit MEM25012 Install and test operations of marine auxiliary systems should also be selected.

This unit should not be selected if unit MEM03002 Perform precision assembly has already been selected.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
