In all of the tables in this document, both the pre-2009 NQF Level and the NQF Level is shown. In the text (purpose statements, qualification rules, etc), any references to NQF Levels are to the pre-2009 levels unless specifically stated otherwise.  

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

PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD 
Conveyor belts are important products that are used in commerce and in various industries. Their applications are varied and their demand high. The Unit Standard demonstrates how the range of conveyor belt applications is manufactured. The process of manufacture involves the use of correct material in line with product requirements, calendaring and vulcanising the material to meet product specifications.

Qualifying learners are able to:
  • Obtain material, where required, and prepare material for manufacturing a range of conveyor belt products.
  • Calender the material, where required, in line with product requirements and process specification(s).
  • Vulcanise material in order to meet specified conveyor belt product requirements.
  • Label and record products according to company procedures and product specifications. 
    		•

    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.
