Overview

This unit covers selecting inspection and test procedures, and controlling the inspection/test environment and equipment.

Assessment

For Melbourne campuses

Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce and extend knowledge and skill competence within set and controlled parameters in accordance with each unit’s learning outcomes and performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.

Students will be expected to demonstrate the following required skills:

reading, interpreting and following information on standard operating procedures and other applicable reference documents;
checking and clarifying task-related information;
entering and maintaining information onto proformas and standard workplace forms and records;
checking for conformance to specifications;
using measurement equipment within the scope of this unit;
measuring components to specified tolerances;
implementing inspection method for the product/process;
monitoring inspection/test procedures to ensure desired outcomes are achieved;
monitoring environmental conditions;
checking calibration of measuring equipment;
initiating calibration of measuring equipment;
calibrating measuring equipment against the appropriate reference standard;
detecting and reporting out of calibration equipment, and;
applying units of measurement and numerical operations/calculations within the scope of this unit.

Students will also be expected to demonstrate the following knowledge:

a range of inspection methods and their application;
the appropriate inspection method for the process/product;
procedures for implementing inspection methods;
the desired/target outcomes of the inspection/test procedures;
reasons for discrepancies/trends;
procedures for monitoring inspection/test procedures;

procedures for calibrating measuring instruments;
tools and equipment required to calibrate measuring equipment;
procedures for recording calibration details;
the reasons for keeping calibration records;
the procedures to be followed when measuring equipment is found to be out of calibration;
the reasons for checking results from out of calibration measuring equipment;
procedures for reporting out of calibration measuring equipment;
hazards and control measures associated with inspection, including housekeeping;
