Definitions
Electrostatic lubrication is a system by which a lubricant
is broken down into microscopic particles and
electrostatically deposited as a uniform coating on
metal sheets.
Key points describe anything that may: result in the
success, or otherwise, of a given job; cause injury or
damage; or make the task easier to perform.
Key steps are actions that must be done, as a logical
sequence of an operation, to advance the work.

Please Note
Providers must be accredited by the Qualifications Authority or a delegated interinstitutional body before they can register credits from assessment against unit standards
or deliver courses of study leading to that assessment.
Industry Training Organisations must be accredited by the Qualifications Authority before
they can register credits from assessment against unit standards.
Accredited providers and Industry Training Organisations assessing against unit standards
must engage with the moderation system that applies to those standards.
Accreditation requirements and an outline of the moderation system that applies to this
standard are outlined in the Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP). The
AMAP also includes useful information about special requirements for providers wishing to
develop education and training programmes, such as minimum qualifications for tutors and
assessors, and special resource requirements.
