This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to analyse and apply knowledge of the technical regulatory framework in accordance with relevant organisational policy and procedures.

The application of this knowledge is required by people who are not specialists of the technical regulatory framework but need the knowledge to inform their decision making. The application of technical regulatory framework knowledge is specific to a variety of component processes in material logistics activities.

This unit was developed for logistics specialists working within materiel logistics but is applicable to individuals in broader logistics roles.

Typically these individuals work independently or as part of a team under direct and/or indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs.

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

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

• adhering to relevant compliance requirements
• applying technical regulatory framework knowledge to work being performed and to guide problem solving
• displaying resilience by continuing to move forward despite criticism or setbacks
• focusing on clear communication of technical regulatory information to a range of audiences
• identifying, interpreting and analysing technical regulatory requirements relevant to work being performed
• presenting technical regulatory information confidently and selecting appropriate medium for communication
• using appropriate information technology and software.

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

• configuration management
• materiel life cycle
• own role in relation to wider organisational or project context
• safety, legislative and statutory requirements, including relevant environmental and sustainability issues
• technical regulatory framework knowledge relevant to work performed
• technical regulatory framework relevant to materiel and materiel systems.

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

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.

Resources for assessment include:

• a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations
• relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry
• applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals
• computer and relevant software
• legislation, guidelines, procedures and protocols relating to technical regulatory framework
• technical regulatory framework plans.
