LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
This unit standard has been designed as part of a progression. It is one of a series of unit standards for activities below, at and above this level. The credits assigned to it are based on the assumption that I have already been assessed and have obtained credits for related activities at this level or below it.

If I have experience in these related activities but do not have such credits, I can obtain credits by being assessed through a process which recognises prior learning.

If I do not have such experience, then my learning time will be increased. I can choose to be assessed and obtain credits against those other unit standards as I make progress towards the outcomes of this unit standard.

The activities in this unit standard are closely linked to Standard PlasMnf L4-003 - Change and set tooling. While the activities described there may be required as part of this activity they should be assessed separately. 

UNIT STANDARD RANGE 
"Conduct quality check on products" includes but is not limited to:
  • Dimensions, mass, density and shape
  • Requirements for specific materials
  • Product properties, eg:
  • Leaks, surface finish, hardness, colour, printing and welding
  • Relevant laboratory tests, eg
  • Tensile, tear, impact, hardness, stress cracking resistance

    "Changover process" includes any activity related to moving from a setting operation to full production

    Services mean things like:
  • pneumatics
  • hydraulics
  • water
  • electricity

    "Emergencies" mean things like power failures, fire, temperature overruns.

    UNIT STANDARD ACCREDITATION AND MODERATION OPTIONS 
    My assessment will be governed by the policies and guidelines of an Education and Training Quality Assurer who has jurisdiction over this field of learning. My assessor will (at the very least) be accredited and have a technical qualification in this learning area.

    I can be assessed in the language of my choice although if I have to report incidents, or conditions to someone else I will be assessed on my ability to report in the language commonly used in my working environment.

    I will be assessed in the workplace but I can submit documents, projects, test results and assignments that were not produced in the workplace.

    I can be assessed against this unit standard to obtain credits or as part of an integrated assessment for a qualification.

    This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here.
