Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the evidence guide.

Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENT	PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
1. Prepare for production of veneer	1.1. Applicable Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), environmental, legislative and organisational requirements relevant to producing decorative veneers are identified and followed 1.2. Work order is reviewed and checked with appropriate personnel 1.3. Type and quantity of decorative veneer to be produced is acquired from the veneer production process 1.4. Equipment is selected appropriate to work requirements and checked for operational effectiveness in line with manufacturer's recommendations 1.5. Veneer production process is selected in line with site procedures 1.6. Communication with others is established and maintained in line with OHS requirements
2. Produce decorative veneer	2.1. Veneer is selected for its decorative qualities, checked for defects and the layout designed 2.2. Joining points are selected and the veneer is cut in line with the layout design 2.3. Decorative veneers are prepared for joining and bonding to panel product 2.4. Completed veneers are checked for conformity to work order and any imperfections repaired 2.5. Completed veneers are marked for designate joining sequence in line with the layout design 2.6. Sub-standard decorative veneers are rejected and disposed of in line with site procedures and environmental requirements 2.7. Decorative veneer process and equipment faults are recorded and reported to the appropriate personnel
3. Redistribute material	3.1. Veneer is regraded and joins assessed in line with site requirements and industry standards 3.2. Material is directed and moved to storage or processing operations in line with site requirements 3.3. Sub-standard material is rejected and disposed of in line with site requirements 3.4. Work area is cleaned in line with OHS requirements

Evidence Guide

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment	A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence that they can safely and efficiently produce decorative veneer in line with organisational requirements
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements of this unit and include demonstration of: following applicable Commonwealth, State or Territory legislative and regulatory requirements and codes of practice relevant to producing decorative veneers following organisational policies and procedures relevant to producing decorative veneers producing decorative veneers in readiness for joining and application to panel products or for interim storage redistributing material on site using designated equipment
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints Assessment of underpinning knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context Assessment is to follow relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements The following resources should be made available: workplace location or simulated workplace materials and equipment relevant to undertaking work applicable to this unit specifications and work instructions
Method of assessment	Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the FPI11 Training Package Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge Assessment must be by direct observation of tasks, with questioning on underpinning knowledge and it must also reinforce the integration of employability skills Assessment methods must confirm the ability to access and correctly interpret and apply the underpinning knowledge Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate Assessment practices should take into account any relevant language or cultural issues related to Aboriginality, gender or language backgrounds other than English Where the participant has a disability, reasonable adjustment may be applied during assessment Language and literacy demands of the assessment task should not be higher than those of the work role
