NZQA Expiring unit standard 3160 version 7 Page 1 of 3 Title Produce a laminated polyester resin item to a product specification for composites Level 3 Credits 5 Purpose People credited with this unit standard are able to produce a laminated polyester resin item against a product specification by preparing for production, producing the item to a process specification, and carrying out specified safety precautions. Classification Composites > Production Composites Available grade Achieved Special notes 1 Definitions Equipment refers to applicators, dispensers, measuring devices, cutters and cleaning utensils. Process specification refers to the documented order and method of applying the materials to manufacture the item (time, materials, temperature, application rates). Product specification refers to the documented requirements of the manufactured item. Worksite procedures refer to the documented procedures for the machine and worksite. 2 All worksite procedures must meet recognised codes of practice such as the Code of Practice for Health and Safety in the Manufacture of Composites Based on Synthetic Resins (Fibreglass), 1998. This code, and other relevant codes of practice, are available from the Composites Association of New Zealand, PO Box 75 345, Manurewa, Manukau 2243, or at http://www.hazsubstancesinquiry.osh.govt.nz/order/catalogue/composites.shtml. They include obligations required under current legislation. All worksite procedures must also meet documented worksite safety procedures (where these exceed the code) for personal, product and worksite safety. 3 The laminated polyester resin item produced for this unit standard must include external and internal angles, and concave and convex surfaces. Elements and performance criteria Element 1 Prepare for the production of a laminated polyester resin item.

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 applies to those standards. Requirements for consent to assess and an outline of the moderation system that applies to this standard are outlined in the CMR. The CMR also includes useful information about special requirements for organisations wishing to develop education and training programmes, such as minimum qualifications for tutors and assessors, and special resource requirements.
