PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD 
Learners who are involved in changing and setting tooling of industrial rubber manufacturing equipment require the skills, values and knowledge reflected in this unit standard.

Qualifying learners can acquire, prepare, change and set up machine tooling such as moulds, dies or forming devices in industrial rubber manufacturing processes to produce a quality product. They will understand the importance of accurate tooling set up and how this is achieved. This will include determining the setup requirements, carrying out post-setup checks and taking corrective action.

The learning outcomes in this unit standard also contribute to the exit level outcomes required for the National Certificate in Industrial Rubber Manufacturing (Mixing, Extruding, Moulding or Calendaring) (NQF level 3) and related qualifications. 

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
This unit standard has been designed as part of a progression. It is one of a series of unit standards for producing product in an industrial rubber manufacturing skills area.

The credits allocated to this unit standard assume that a learner has already learned to:
  • Operate industrial rubber manufacturing equipment. 
    		•

    UNIT STANDARD RANGE

    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.
