This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to perform basic penetrant testing procedures and techniques in a range of industrial applications including fabrications, structures and components across a wide range of industries. It is restricted to basic visible dye or process penetrant line methods.Penetrant testing is performed on critical component or structural zones and actual and potential defects are to be considered, together with ongoing abnormalities.Materials and chemicals which are subject to codes and regulations - for example, chemicals, explosives, solvents, dangerous materials, acids, or noxious waste products - must be subject to safe work habits and must be stored and used in accordance with safe work practices.This unit should not be selected when unit MEM24002 Perform penetrant testing has already been selected.Where interpretation of technical drawings is required unit MEM09002 Interpret technical drawing should also be selected.Where the selection and use of engineering measurement is required unit MEM12023 Perform engineering measurements should also be selected.Where the selection and use of industrial chemicals is required unit MEM13003 Work safely with industrial chemicals and materials should also be selected.Where the selection and use of power tools are required unit MEM18002 Use power tools/hand held operations should also be selected.No licensing or legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. Certification against Australian Standards may be achieved where assessment in this unit of competency is carried out in conjunction with an examining authority as described in AS ISO 9712 Non-destructive testing — Qualification and certification of NDT personnel.Band: AUnit Weight: 2
