Modification History
Release 2. Supersedes and is equivalent to MSTCL3001 Identify fabric performance and handling requirements (Release 1).
Prerequisite unit - MSTGN2011 Identify fibres, fabrics and textiles used in the TCF industry is superseded by MSTGN2013 Identify fibres, fabrics and textiles used in the TCF industry.
Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to LMTCL3001B Identify fabric performance and handling requirements.
Application
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to identify fabric performance and handling requirements.
The unit of competency applies to fabrics used to produce garments and accessories and includes sourcing information from reference material and industry specialists, as well as conducting simple tests to identify fabric types and properties. Identification methods and tests covered by this unit are those where the procedure has already been determined and the range of outcomes established.
Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
