Accreditation Evaluation of documentation and visit by NZQA and industry. Standard setting body (SSB) Boating Industry Training Organisation Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP) reference 0136 This AMAP can be accessed at http://www.nzqa.govt.nz/framework/search/index.do. New Zealand Qualifications Authority 2016 3190 version 5 Page 2 of 3 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 This unit standard does not include painting.

Performance criteria 2.1 Damaged or faulty composite is repaired according to process specification. 2.2 Remedial action ensures that product meets product specification. Element 3 Carry out specified safety precautions while repairing damaged or faulty composites. Performance criteria 3.1 Materials are handled according to safety data sheet recommendations and the code of practice. 3.2 Safety equipment is used according to worksite procedure. Please note Providers must be accredited by NZQA, or an inter-institutional body with delegated authority for quality assurance, before they can report credits from assessment against unit standards or deliver courses of study leading to that assessment. Industry Training Organisations must be accredited by NZQA 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 organisations wishing to develop education and training programmes, such as minimum qualifications for tutors and assessors, and special resource requirements.
