Elements and Performance Criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes.	Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
1	Plan and prepare for work	1.1	Characteristics of the surface and the required surface coating are identified from work orders or instructions
1.2	Processing and application techniques, time and safety requirements are identified and used for work planning
1.3	Work health and safety (WHS) requirements, including ventilation requirements and personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work
1.4	Tools, equipment and accessories are identified and checked for safe and effective operation for the surface coating task
1.5	Surface coatings are identified and prepared, as required, for the surface coating tasks
2	Check and prepare for spraying	2.1	Products with surface or other faults are identified and faults reported or repaired as appropriate
2.2	Other products and equipment in the workplace are protected from overspray
2.3	Trial applications of surface materials are made to check condition of spray system, spray patterns, equipment operation, materials viscosity and specified surface finish
2.4	Unserviceable components are cleaned or replaced and spray system re-assembled
2.5	Spray pattern faults are identified and rectified in accordance with workplace procedures.
2.6	Material faults are identified and workplace procedures for rectification are followed
3	Apply surface coating	3.1	Surfaces are kept free of contamination
3.2	Surface coatings are applied according to workplace procedures
3.3	Surface build and coverage is checked against workplace requirements for even spread and thickness
