Board warped in excess of 2% is not to be used during assessment. The process for
defining and calculating warp percentage is as follows: when a warped board is laid
on a level surface so as to form a shallow arch, the maximum vertical deviation from
the horizontal is expressed as a percentage of the board dimension that forms the
arch.
5
Assessments must be conducted where board sheet size is 20% above the
machine’s specified minimum limit and 20% below the machine’s specified maximum
limit.
6
Competence in this unit standard must be demonstrated by the candidate assuming
responsibility as sole operator in charge of a flat bed die cutter and linked printing
machine. The machine must also be configured with at least a hopper feeder and
accumulator section.
7
Competence in the die cutting criteria in this unit standard is to be demonstrated in a
new production task, or one involving either a new die or a reknived die, requiring
printing, die cutting and creasing and perforating, internal and external stripping, and
the production of multiple ups involving either one or two units behind each other.
8
Competence in the printing criteria in this unit standard is to be demonstrated in a
new printing production task specifying not less than three colours, with requirements
for registration and trapping and alignment.
9
Not more than two machine passes are to be made in demonstrating competence at
assessment. Where a single machine pass is not possible, the candidate must meet
all evidence requirements during both passes.

Please note
Providers must be granted consent to assess against standards (accredited) by NZQA,
before they can report credits from assessment against unit standards or deliver courses
of study leading to that assessment.
Industry Training Organisations must be granted consent to assess against standards by
NZQA before they can register credits from assessment against unit standards.
Providers and Industry Training Organisations, which have been granted consent and
which are assessing against unit standards must engage with the moderation system that
