Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to use finishing and assembly processes and equipment to prepare components and products for use by customers or in secondary manufacturing processing.
This unit applies to an individual working alone or as part of a team.
The unit principally refers to finishing to cover a range of secondary value-adding processes such as trimming, grinding, applying protective coatings and inspecting the product for expected and unexpected imperfections. It also refers to cleaning, sorting, assembly and reworking of minor surface imperfections.
No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
