following applicable commonwealth, state or territory legislative and regulatory requirements and codes of practice relevant to preparing and interpreting sketches and drawings
following organisational policies and procedures relevant to preparing and interpreting sketches and drawings
communicating with others in the work area to convey information relating to sketching and drawing detail and items to be drawn
interpreting sketch and drawing details to determine material requirements and providing a three-dimensional picture of components, assemblies or structures
determining areas of insufficient detail or omissions from sketch and drawing detail
preparing a sketch or drawing that correctly represents intended items and follows industry and site conventions
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace
Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints

Assessment must be by direct observation of tasks, with questioning on required knowledge and it must also reinforce the integration of key competencies
Assessment methods must confirm the ability to access and correctly interpret and apply the required knowledge
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 able not only 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
