Application

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to apply laminations and fusible interlinings to technical textiles. Technical textiles are textile products that have been manufactured for special technical performance and applications

Techniques allow for the bonding of two textile fabrics to give increased stiffening or other enhanced technical performance in the final product. The unit of competency covers the use of solvent, powder or hot melt adhesives to achieve lamination or apply interlining.

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.

Assessment requirements

Modification History

Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to LMTTN2010B Apply laminations and fusible interlinings to technical textiles

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria, and include:

  • reading and following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), safe work practices
  • applying relevant standards
  • safely and accurately preparing and loading consumables on at least three (3) occasions
  • safely setting and operating technical textile laminating or interlining machines on at least three (3) occasions
  • monitoring coating process to ensure application is according to job requirements and manufacturer instructions on at least three (3) occasions
  • removing laminated or interlined technical textile from coating machine and conducting tests, as required
  • consistently achieving quality and production output requirements
  • identifying and responding to machine or process faults
  • following job specifications and orders
  • applying workplace procedures
  • maintaining records.

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:

  • safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • relevant Australian Standards
  • laminating process: the production of a textile by combining two or more fabrics using an adhesive
  • adhesives (solvent, powder or hot melt adhesives)
  • interlining processes: a fusible interlining is a fabric that has been coated with an adhesive coating, which under the influence of heat and pressure will melt and form a bond with any other fabric that is pressed against it
  • machine operations relevant to workplace procedures
  • process and machine faults
  • work health and safety (WHS) practices
  • quality practices
  • workplace procedures
  • recording and reporting practices.

Assessment Conditions

  • Assessors must:
  • satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment, as set by the VET regulator
  • have vocational competency in applying laminations and fusible interlinings to technical textiles, at least to the level being assessed, with relevant industry knowledge and experience.
  • Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
  • 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.
  • Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
