It applies to a range of manufacturing enterprises and requires application of a range of measuring equipment/devices/ tools.
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 tools is required unit MEM18001 Use hand tools and unit MEM18002 Use power tools/hand held operations, as appropriate should also be selected.
This unit is not intended to be applied to maintenance personnel carrying out their day-to-day activities, for example, fault finding, remedial and checking activities. These skills are covered by other units such as unit MEM18006 Perform precision fitting of engineering components.
This unit should not be selected for the purposes of non-destructive testing where any of the following units have already been selected:
- MEM24002B Perform penetrant testing
- MEM24004B Perform magnetic particle testing
- MEM24006B Perform eddy current testing
- MEM24008B Perform ultrasonic testing
