What an assessment for ICPPRN4140 must cover

71 assessable components: 5 elements (19 performance criteria), 4 performance evidence and 42 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 6 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.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Maintain specialised flexographic printing process

1.1Evaluate and adjust flexographic plate and plate cylinder or sleeve condition
1.2Evaluate and adjust flexographic impression roller condition
1.3Monitor, evaluate and adjust flexographic inking system, doctor blade and drying systems

2 Maintain specialised production process

2.1Use machine controls according to job specifications
2.2Monitor, adjust and verify performance is using the process control system according to enterprise procedures
2.3Observe, evaluate and adjust ink performance, colour, register and position of print throughout production run

3 Tune and adjust machinery

3.1Review idiosyncrasies of machines make adjustments or undertake tuning to compensate, or exploit the idiosyncrasy, within manufacturer specifications
3.2Evaluate options to determine method of production
3.3Conduct test run and confirm options and settings meet quality requirements
3.4Document options and recommendations according to enterprise procedures
3.5Provide instruction on new practices to machine operator or finisher, as required

4 Troubleshoot machinery and material problems

4.1Recommend and implement corrective and preventive action as required
4.2Communicate changes to designated personnel
4.3Monitor changes and confirm improvement to production efficiency
4.4Report ongoing problems according to enterprise procedures

5 Conduct shutdown of production process

5.1Follow shutdown sequence according to manufacturer specifications and enterprise procedures
5.2Remove solid and liquid waste from operating area and recycle and dispose of, as required, according to regulatory requirements and enterprise procedures
5.3Clean and disengage all required parts of machinery used in printing process according to manufacturer specifications and enterprise procedures
5.4Complete required production records and enterprise documentation

Performance evidence

produce specialised flexographic printed products for two 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.

Knowledge evidence

enterprise and manufacturer procedures, and WHS requirements for:
operating the delivery system, rewinding and sheeting
machine shutdown
causes and correction methods of various machine issues such as:
reel wander and an out of centre reel
web breaks at the unwind unit
sheet cut-off wander
substrate distortion
difference between a ‘flying paster’ and ‘zero speed’ type reel-stand
safety feature in the delivery system for web jams
effect of:
poorly adjusted nip rollers in rewinding and sheeting
plate lifts on the leading edge during a print run
too much reducer in the ink
an incorrect drying temperature in the chillers or on finished product
eating or drinking near the machine while using UV inks
excessive pressure on the slitters
inadequate work communication on the flexographic machine
increases in relative humidity in the press room on the substrate
procedures for:
handling newly delivered substrates to the press room
reporting machine operating problems and calling service personnel to resolve them
sorting waste
labelling and storage of inks, materials, and printed jobs
labelling of printed product prior to removal from the press room
cause of ink foaming in the ink tray and UV ink drying
actions reducing doctor blade wear
purpose of removing solvents from the final ink film
relationship between driers and set off and marking
purpose of frequently examining job in-line components
consistency checks for the punching unit
safety features in the organisation that maintain effective production
enterprise personnel responsible and ramifications for removal of machine guards and disconnection of micro switches
measurements besides optimum solid ink density for assessing print quality
required method of checking register during a production run
immediate action required when production problems are anticipated, and to eliminate further processing of unacceptable printed product
advantages of keeping reusable waste and labelling and storing excess materials
industry communication standards for clients, and procedures clients should follow to approve a printed product
labelling and storage procedures of excess inks and materials
operations required for printed reels after removal from the printing machine
use of completed records in the final job analysis, and their benefits in considering production of future jobs
manufacturer manuals, enterprise procedures and work health and safety documentation, including their location and purpose.

Questions about assessing ICPPRN4140

What does an assessment tool for ICPPRN4140 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICPPRN4140 needs to address all 71 unit components: 5 elements with 19 performance criteria, 4 performance evidence requirements, 42 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 ICPPRN4140?

Auditori pulls the current release of ICPPRN4140 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 ICPPRN4140 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ICPPRN4140 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 ICPPRN4140, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
