In all of the tables in this document, both the pre-2009 NQF Level and the NQF Level is shown. In the text (purpose statements, qualification rules, etc), any references to NQF Levels are to the pre-2009 levels unless specifically stated otherwise.  

This unit standard does not replace any other unit standard and is not replaced by any other unit standard. 

PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD 
People in the field of manufacturing and engineering require the skills, values and knowledge reflected in this unit standard. The learning outcomes in this unit standard also contribute to the exit level outcomes required for various manufacturing and engineering qualifications.
The learner is capable of installing the various types of sub-components on passenger and light delivery vehicles in accordance with workshop and manufacturers specifications. The learner is also capable to prepare the sub-component for storage. This will contribute to the exit level outcomes required for the National Certificate in maintaining vehicles and related qualifications.
