Assessment Requirements for PPMEPG440 Troubleshoot and rectify power generation system

Modification History

Release	Comment
1	Replaces equivalent unit FPPEPG440A Troubleshoot and rectify power generation system, which was first released with FPP10 Pulp and Paper Manufacturing Industry Training Package Version 1.0. This is the first release of this unit in the new standards format. Assessment requirements now specify the performance and knowledge evidence, as well as assessment conditions for this unit of competency. These sections simplify and replace components used in the previous unit format, including ‘Required Skills and Knowledge, Evidence Guide and Range Statement’.

Performance Evidence
