This unit standard does not replace any other unit standard and is not replaced by any other unit standard.

PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD

This unit standard is intended for operating staff in a process environment to support the maintenance/engineering team in dismantling, assembly and installation of basic mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic and electrical components.

A person credited with this unit standard is able to:

Prepare for the dismantling of mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic and electrical components.

Dismantle basic assemblies.

Inspect dismantled components for defects.

Prepare for the assembly and installation of mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic and electrical components.

Assemble and install basic components.

Make minor set-up adjustments to assembled components.

Record and report on conditions, results and problems.

This will ensure that the dismantling, assembly and installation of basic mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic and electrical components is performed in accordance with procedures and accepted work practices. This competence will enhance the learner's employability and career options in all occupations where knowledge of dismantling, assembly and installation of basic components in a process environment is needed.

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

Description of required skills:

National Certificate Chemical Operations at NQF Level 2 or equivalent, including communication and mathematical literacy, at NQF Level 2.

UNIT STANDARD RANGE

The context of this unit standard includes a complete process, from the point of receiving a commodity raw material to the point of supplying a commercially saleable product.

The level assigned to this unit standard is appropriate because the process requires a wide range of cognitive skills and offers a considerable choice of solutions. A broad knowledge base incorporating some theoretical concepts, analytical interpretation of information, informed judgement and a range of sometime innovative responses to concrete but often unfamiliar problems are employed.

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.
