What an assessment for ICPPRN3420 must cover

47 assessable components: 4 elements (17 performance criteria), 5 performance evidence and 18 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 7 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

3 Identify and rectify faults

  • 3.1Identify and report problems in machine operation according to enterprise procedures
  • 3.2Carry out adjustments or corrections according to specified procedures, and within scope of own role
  • 3.3Verify repairs and adjustments as required prior to resumption of operations

4 Conduct shutdown of production process

  • 4.1Follow shutdown sequence according to manufacturer specifications and enterprise procedures
  • 4.2Label and store unused ink according to manufacturer specifications and enterprise procedures
  • 4.3Remove solid and liquid waste from operating area and recycle and dispose of, as required, according to regulatory requirements and enterprise procedures
  • 4.4Clean and disengage all required parts of machinery used in printing process according to manufacturer specifications and enterprise procedures
  • 4.5Complete required production records and enterprise documentation

Performance evidence

  • operate a pad printing machine and produce two different jobs.
  • operate production process in association with fellow workers and according to enterprise procedures and planned daily schedule
  • follow work health and safety (WHS) requirements, manufacturer specifications and enterprise procedures
  • anticipate production difficulties and take preventive action to prevent occurrence.
  • demonstrate use of control, monitoring and data entry systems.

Knowledge evidence

  • WHS risks and requirements for: setting up and operating the pad printing machine; handling inks and other materials; machine shutdown; cleaning and waste disposal
  • material safety data sheets (MSDS), their location and what information they contain
  • selection criteria for machine cycle modes to improve colour density of a light image on a dark substrate
  • product quality requirements and control and correction methods
  • special cycle modes available on the machine and their application
  • indicators that an ink has been mixed to the required viscosity and correction methods
  • causes of unreleased ink remaining on the printing pad and identifying criteria
  • effect of a catalyst on the pot life of ink, and other factors affecting pot life
  • signs of a damaged pad
  • required cleaning method for a pad during production
  • effect of different pad shapes in multi-coloured printing for different colours
  • steps taken to determine time the ink requires to cure before scratch and adhesion tests can be performed
  • check for pre-treatment of polypropylene during production
  • procedure for ensuring required drying conditions for the product
  • visible effects of incorrect ink viscosity on the image
  • steps taken to identify the cause of incorrect registration and avoid it
  • regulatory requirements for recycling procedures
  • manufacturer manuals, enterprise procedures and work health and safety documentation, including their location and purpose.

Foundation skills

  • Writing: Enters routine data associated with production processes and enterprise procedures
  • Numeracy: Interprets and analyses a range of mathematical information used in familiar and routine tasks
  • Self-management: Identifies and follows explicit and implicit protocols and meets expectations associated with own role Identifies and follows all procedures for cleaning and maintenance of equipment, incorporating regulatory requirements and enterprise procedures
  • Teamwork: Cooperates with others as part of familiar routine activities, and contributes to specific activities requiring joint responsibility and accountability Identifies what to communicate, with whom and how, in routine work situations
  • Get the work done: Takes responsibility for planning and organising own workload, identifying ways of sequencing and combining elements for greater efficiency Plans, identifies and assembles resources required to complete tasks
  • Problem solving: Responds to problems and applies formal problem solving processes when tackling unfamiliar problems
  • Technology: Follows routine procedures for using digital technology by reading data from electronic monitoring and control systems

Questions about assessing ICPPRN3420

What does an assessment tool for ICPPRN3420 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICPPRN3420 needs to address all 47 unit components: 4 elements with 17 performance criteria, 5 performance evidence requirements, 18 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for ICPPRN3420?

Auditori pulls the current release of ICPPRN3420 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for ICPPRN3420 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ICPPRN3420 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of ICPPRN3420, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
