MEM09002 - Interpret technical drawing
Overview
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to interpret technical drawings.
Technical drawings may utilise perspective, exploded views or hidden view techniques and may include symbol glossaries. Drawings are provided to AS 1100 Technical drawing or AS 1102 Graphical symbols and their equivalents from the full range of engineering disciplines.
Where any technical drawing, sketch, chart, diagram is only used as a technique for communication, then this unit does not apply: unit MEM12023 Perform engineering measurements or unit MEM16006 Organise and communicate information should be selected as appropriate.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
