Elements and Performance Criteria

RANGE STATEMENT
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Prepare the clock
Prepare the clock may include:
separating and packaging of components
partial dismantling of clock (e.g. pendulum and weights)
secure gong rods/hammers
Clock handover
Clock handover may include:
informing customer of features and characteristics of clock
demonstrating winding and setting procedures for clock
informing customer of operation/switching of any automatic night silent/shut-off for chiming/striking mechanism
warranty information
recording date of installation
Tools and equipment
Tools and equipment may include:
hand tools
drills
spirit level
power tools
safety equipment, including personal protective equipment
cleaning equipment
Verify completeness
Verify completeness may include:
all components checked against packing slip/component list
case parts, pendulum, weights and key
striking and chiming rods, bells or tubes
Appropriate methods and fixings
Appropriate methods and fixings may include:
suitable location/position identified (e.g. level, stable, drafts and people traffic)
wedges
floor and wall fixings
Clock functions
Clock functions may include:
pendulum in-beat (e.g. automatic beat)
striking and chiming
winding and setting
calendar-moon phase
In-beat assessment
In-beat assessment may include:
clock secure and level position
pendulum assembly complete and correctly attached
listen for evidence of even tick
In-beat adjustment method
In-beat adjustment method may include:
friction crutch
cam wheel
bending crutch
automatic beat adjuster
Rate adjustments
Rate adjustments may include:
effect of changing pendulum length
(shortening = gain, lengthening = loss)
methods of adjusting bob position (e.g. screw thread)
French devices (e.g. adjustable suspension)
weight trays

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to install and set up clocks to industry standards, manufacturer specifications and in accordance with safety regulations and procedures.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently:
safely package and handle clock components and cases
set up and install pendulum clocks
assemble clock components
test and adjust clock functions and performance.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in a simulated working environment. Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and information on workplace practices and OHS practices.
Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability.
Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required. Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities.
Method of assessment
Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the MEM05 Metal and Engineering Training Package.
Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge.
Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application.
Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process.
Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is not only able to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.
Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency where required.
Guidance information for assessment
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
