Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 1:
All existing and potential deviations from processing requirements are identified and correctly pinpointed.
The short, medium, and long-term implications and consequences of the identified deviations are described in terms of the standard operating procedures.
Appropriate corrective action needed to correct deviations is initiated according to the standard operating procedures.

Associated Assessment for Criteria Exit Level Outcome 2:
All sampling points are identified.
Descriptions of the methods and frequency relevant to each of the sampling points meet the requirements of the standard operating procedures.
The process required to protect the integrity of the sampling and sample analysis process is described according to leading practices and standard operating procedures.
Making use of a sampling schedule and a full set of sample results, all deviations from the production requirements are accurately identified.

Associated Assessment for Criteria Exit Level Outcome 3:
The location of the instrumentation on the plant is accurately indicated on flow charts and plant diagrams.
The description of the purpose of each of the identified instruments is aligned to the manufacturer’s specifications.
Interpretations of the readings on the instrumentation are accurate and reflect the actual condition on the plant.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 4:
All the potential up-and-down-stream implications of a full range of incidents/deviations are accurately described.
The potential short-, medium-, and long-term consequences of the identified implications are in line with the risk profile of the plant.
Preventative and contingency actions initiated address the problems and are executed in line with standard operating procedures.

Integrated Assessment:
Integrated Formative Assessment:
The skills development provider will use the curriculum to guide them on the stipulated internal assessment criteria and weighting. They will also apply the scope of practical skills and applied knowledge as stipulated by the internal assessment criteria. This formative assessment leads to entrance into the integrated external summative assessment.

Integrated Summative Assessment:
An external integrated summative assessment, conducted through the relevant Assessment Quality Partner, is required for the issuing of this qualification. The external integrated summative assessment will focus on the Exit Level Outcomes and Associated Assessment Criteria.
