Explanatory notes
1
Work must be carried out in accordance with organisational requirements, licensing
requirements, legislative requirements, and industrial awards and agreements.
2
The measuring devices may typically include scales, vernier callipers, meters,
gauges.
3
The arithmetic processes are addition, subtraction, multiplication, division.
4
Performance measures include percentage, ratio and proportion.
5
Product characteristics may include weight, volume, temperature and length.
6
Typical of the charts used to record information is a Statistical Process Chart or
similar record.
7
Calculations may be made manually or by calculator.
8
Records may be recorded manually or through the use of computer based systems
and be in print form and/or in an electronic system.
9
Evidence for this unit standard needs to be supplied from the workplace and should
cover the typical range of measuring instruments and workplace and performance
measures required in the dairy industry.
10
Organisational requirements refers to instructions to staff on policy and procedures
which are documented in memo or manual format and are available in the workplace.
These requirements include but are not limited to – site specific requirements, and
company quality management requirements.

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.
