All workplace practices must meet any applicable and recognised codes of practice,
and documented workplace health, safety, and environmental procedures for
personal, product, workplace health, safety, and environmental matters, and the
obligations required under current law including the Health and Safety in Employment
Act 1992, Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996, Resource
Management Act 1991, Privacy Act 1993 and their subsequent amendments.

Workplace practices refer to the documented procedures for the machine and/or
workplace.

The publication Corrugating Defect/Remedy Manual, editor James T. Carbone,
TAPPI Press, Atlanta USA, Sixth edition 1999 is the standard for fault types and
remedies for this unit standard.

too high a temperature produces – glue charring, glue scorch,
reduced adhesion, increased fluidity, excessive application;
too low a temperature produces – reduced penetration of
substrates, poor bonding, decreased fluidity, inadequate
application, poor cut off.

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 Consent and Moderation Requirements (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.
