PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD 
Carrying out post-production and finishing operations with manufactured product. 

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
This unit standard has been designed as the start of a progression. It is one of a series of unit standards for activities at and above this level. The credits assigned to it are based on the assumption that I am learning what is needed for this unit standard as part of my learning for a range of related unit standards at this level.

If I have experience in these related activities but do not have credits for them, I can obtain credits by being assessed through a process which recognises prior learning.

If I do not have such experience of related activities, then my learning time will be increased. I can choose to be assessed and obtain credits against those other unit standards as I make progress towards the outcomes of this unit standard. 

UNIT STANDARD RANGE 
"Determine packing and finishing requirements" are activities like:
  • receiving and checking instructions

    "Prepare working area" are activities like:
  • fetching components for packing, labelling, etc
  • laying out items in workspace

    "Finishing procedures" are operations like:
  • marking, labelling, stamping
  • packing, wrapping, stacking, nesting
  • assembling components
  • simple product testing for print adhesion, circularity/squareness, warpage, leaks, thickness, fit, weight/mass, number, colour, transparency/opacity

    "Post-production operations" are operations like:
  • clamping, placing into fixtures or jigs
  • machining, drilling, chamfering, trimming, cutting, separating runners, sprues, neck and tail flash
  • cleaning off residues, polishing, wiping, washing, dusting

    PROVIDERS CURRENTLY ACCREDITED TO OFFER THIS UNIT STANDARD: 
    This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here.
