3188 version 5 Page 1 of 3 Engineer a laminate to design criteria for composites Level 6 Credits 40 Purpose People credited with this unit standard are able to engineer a laminate and determine prototype performance to design criteria, calculate mechanical properties required, and engineer the laminate. Subfield Composites Domain Production 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 Definition Process specification refers to the documented order and method of applying the materials to manufacture the item (time, materials, temperature, application rates). 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. New Zealand Qualifications Authority 2016 3188 version 5 Page 2 of 3 Elements and performance criteria Element 1 Determine prototype laminate performance against design criteria. Performance criteria 1.1 Test results meet specified design criteria. 1.2 Structural properties are determined according to design criteria. Element 2 Calculate mechanical properties. Performance criteria 2.1 Mechanical properties calculated match requirements of design criteria. 2.2 Mechanical properties calculated meet needs of production requirements. Element 3 Engineer laminate. Performance criteria 3.1 Laminate is engineered to meet mechanical properties calculated. 3.2 Laminate is engineered to requirements of design criteria. 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.
