3194 version 5 Page 1 of 3 Produce plug or pattern specification for composites Level 5 Credits 12 Purpose People credited with this unit standard are able to produce a plug or pattern specification by producing a design brief, selecting materials to be included, and designing a plug or a pattern specification. Subfield Composites Domain Specification and Design Composites Status Registered Status date 26 September 2001 Date version published 21 August 2009 Planned review date 31 December 2011 Entry information Open. 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. Special notes 1 Definitions 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. New Zealand Qualifications Authority 2016 3194 version 5 Page 2 of 3 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. Elements and performance criteria Element 1 Produce a design brief for a plug or pattern. Performance criteria 1.1 Design brief produced meets client product end use requirements. 1.2 Design brief establishes safety hazards and preventative action to be taken in accordance with the code of practice. Element 2 Select materials to be included in the plug or pattern specification. Performance criteria 2.1 Materials chosen ensure that plug or pattern is producible. 2.2 Materials chosen comply with design brief. Element 3 Design plug or pattern specification. Performance criteria 3.1 Specification meets material parameters and design brief. 3.2 Documentation of product and process specifications describes plug or pattern and material parameters and is consistent with worksite procedures. 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. New Zealand Qualifications Authority 2016 3194 version 5 Page 3 of 3 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.
