following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices

interpreting code software, conversion charts and samples to identify key blank requirements

selecting appropriate cutting method for key type and system

measuring key dimensions and identifying key type appropriate to the task on at least two occasions

setting up and safely using cutting equipment to produce keys on at least two occasions

testing and adjusting key operation, checking calibration and finishing keys

testing, calibrating and adjusting key cutting machine.

Note: Where a volume and/or frequency is not specified, demonstration must be provided at least once.

Knowledge Evidence

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

safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)

key types

requirements for key cutting

different techniques for cutting keys

redirected keys

tools, machines, equipment and accessories for cutting keys to code

key systems and blanks

spacings, depths, angles, shapes and other measurements relevant to cutting keys

terminology for key production

workplace methods for confirming restricted product signatory to key order

key blank storage and classification systems

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must:

have vocational competency in producing keys to code at least to the level being assessed with relevant industry knowledge and experience

satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 or its replacement and comply with the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011, its replacement or equivalent legislation covering VET regulation in a non-referring state/territory as the case requires.

Where possible, assessment must 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 that reflects realistic operational workplace conditions that cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.

Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications.

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.
