basic measuring and tools and precision measuring instruments
marking-out
instruments P1.2 select appropriate instruments and tools for specified maintenance tasks

O2 Select and use basic P2.1 demonstrate the ability to read measurements using basic measuring and
measuring and marking-out instruments and precision measuring instruments in metric and
marking-out imperial units
instruments
P2.2 use a range of measuring and marking-out instruments/tools to take accurate
measurements within given tolerances for given maintenance tasks

P2.3 use measuring and marking-out instruments to take relevant measurements

and mark out component or work pieces when producing a specified artifact

O3 Demonstrate care of P3.1 identify if measuring and marking-out instruments are in good working order
basic measuring and before using them

Scope: Measuring and S1 surface tables, ruler, divider, scribers, engineers square, dot punch, vee blocks,
marking-out scribing block, angle plates, odd leg callipers, trammel
instruments and tools
Scope:

Precision measuring S2 • external and internal micrometer

instruments • depth micrometer
• vernier callipers
• dial indicators

Artifact S3 simple rectangular artifact to specified dimensions to be produced from 6mm

sheet metal with at least one right angle corner and one 30 or 45 degree angle,
at least two different size drilled holes with sufficient capacity to allow fitting of
small screws, bolts, washers and nuts and at least one threaded bar, and a
curved element as part of the design and at least one tapped hole

Assessment / Evidence
Assessment evidence must include:
• record of questions and Candidate responses which
demonstrate that all of the requirements of the Performance
Criteria, Knowledge and Scope have been met
• observation checklist completed by an Assessor on a
minimum of two occasions for the use measuring and
marking-out instruments as the Candidate measures and
marks out components or work pieces to create a given
artifact
• evidence of measured and marked out components or work
pieces used to create a given artifact - this could be video or
photographic evidence
