1 NQF Ref 1073 Version 4 Page 1 of 18 National Certificate in Materials Processing (Level 2) with strands in General, Plastics Injection Moulding, Plastics Extrusion, Plastics Blow Moulding, Plastics Pressure Thermoforming, Plastics Vacuum Thermoforming, Plastics Blown Film Extrusion, Plastics Film Conversion, Plastics Injection Stretch-Blow Moulding, Plastics Rotational Moulding, Expanded Polystyrene Moulding, Polystyrene Preexpansion, Glass Containers, and Paint Manufacturing Level 2 Credits 40 This qualification is expiring. The last date to meet the requirements is 31 December Purpose The National Certificate in Materials Processing (Level 2) [Ref: 1073] is a qualification intended to meet the requirements of a wide range of materials processing industries. The strands within the qualification are designed to recognise the skills and knowledge necessary to operate particular production processes in specific sectors. Where necessary, the general strand allows people the opportunity to customise their learning more closely to their specific job roles. In this strand they are able to select unit standards from allied sectors that are commonly used within materials processing organisations, or to select more generic materials processing industry skills. The elective component offers significant flexibility to meet specific enterprise requirements. Holders of this certificate are able to work under supervision, generally as advanced production operators. Certificate holders are encouraged to undertake further production related training towards the National Certificate in Materials Processing (Level 3) [Ref: 1074] if applicable. Alternatively there are specialised National Certificates up to Level 4 available in other manufacturing sectors (detailed below). People interested in acquiring supervisory skills and knowledge, may be interested in undertaking the National Certificate in First Line Management (Communications and Quality) (Level 3) [Ref: 0743] and the National Certificate in First Line Management (Level 4) [Ref: 0649]. The National Certificates in Materials Processing at Levels 1, 2 and 3 complement the existing series of qualifications: The National Certificates in Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering at Levels 1, 2, 3 and 4 [Refs: 0126; 0127; 0128; 0750] The National Certificates in Plastics Processing Technology at Levels 1, 2, 3 and 4 [Refs: 0260; 0394; 0395; 0396]

2 NQF Ref 1073 Version 4 Page 2 of 18 The National Certificates in Engineering and Technology (Plastics Engineering) at Levels 3 and 4 [Refs: 0477; 0478] The National Certificates in Engineering and Technology (Glass Containers) at Levels 2, 3 and 4 [Refs: 0947; 0948; 0949]. The National Certificates in Materials Processing are for hands-on production personnel, and thus the compulsory engineering content is much lower; the qualification suite has fewer levels; and they are significantly smaller in terms of credit requirements. Special Notes Prerequisite: National Certificate in Materials Processing (Level 1) [Ref: 1072] in the same strand or demonstrate equivalent knowledge and skills. People seeking the strands Plastics Pressure Thermoforming and Plastics Vacuum Thermoforming must hold the Plastics Thermoforming strand at Level 1. People seeking the Polystyrene Pre-expansion strand must hold the Expanded Polystyrene Moulding strand at Level 1. Replacement Information This qualification replaced the National Certificates in Plastics Production at Levels 1, 2 and 3 [Refs: 0392, 0393, 0781] and all the strands covered by them, as well as the National Certificates in Glass Container Manufacturing at Levels 1 and 2 [Refs: 0945 and 0946]. The National Certificate in Materials Processing (Level 2) with strands in General, Plastics Injection Moulding, Plastics Extrusion, Plastics Blow Moulding, Plastics Pressure Thermoforming, Plastics Vacuum Thermoforming, Plastics Blown Film Extrusion, Plastics Film Conversion, Plastics Injection Stretch-Blow Moulding, Plastics Rotational Moulding, Expanded Polystyrene Moulding, Polystyrene Pre-expansion, Glass Containers, and Paint Manufacturing [Ref: 1073] has been replaced. The Paint Manufacturing strand has been replaced by part of the National Certificate in Paint Manufacturing (Level 2) [Ref: 1364]. The General strand and all Plastics strands have been replaced by the National Certificate in Plastic Products Manufacturing (Level 2) with strands in General, Injection Moulding, Extrusion, Blow Moulding, Pressure Thermoforming, Vacuum Thermoforming, Blown Film Extrusion, Film Conversion, Injection Stretch-Blow Moulding, Rotational Moulding, Expanded Polystyrene Moulding, and Polystyrene Pre-expansion [Ref: 1362]. The Glass Containers strand has been replaced by the National Certificate in Glass Container Manufacturing (Level 2) with strands in Batch and Furnace; Forming; Job Change; and Quality Control [Ref: 1359].

For detailed see Review Summaries on the NZQA website. The Organisation has endeavoured to ensure that no person has been disadvantaged by this review. one who thinks that they have been disadvantaged should, in the first instance, contact the ITO at the address below. Previous versions of the qualification This qualification was revised and issued as version 3 to take account of the availability of unit standards recently registered in the new subfield of Pharmaceutical and Allied Products. Changes to structure and content: the subfield Pharmaceutical and Allied Products was added to the General Strand Elective section. All existing candidates may complete version 2 of this qualification or transfer their existing achievements to version 3. Version 2 was revised to take account of the revision of Glass Container Manufacturing unit standards, and consequently Unit 18769, Supply raw materials to the glass furnace operations, was added to the Electives section of the Glass Containers Strand. Version 2 also contained classifications that replaced earlier classifications as summarised by the following table.

The contents and requirements in the previous qualification were the same in this qualification, except that a General strand and a Paint Manufacturing strand were added. The Distribution, Retail and Distribution Core Skills, Stock Control, Electronic Manufacturing, Engineering Fabrication, and English for Speakers of Other Languages domains were added to the Core Elective section. In addition, the Painting and Decorating and Environment subfields, and the Manufacturing field were added to the Core Elective section. This qualification also completely replaced the National Certificate in Glass Container Manufacturing (Level 2) [Ref: 0946]. The requirements in the replaced qualification were the same in this qualification, except that specific unit standards were no longer listed in the elective section. Unit standards may now be selected from a range of subfields and domains that encompass all of the unit standards listed in the elective section of the previous qualification. People working towards the replaced qualifications were to automatically transfer to the new qualification, as there were no changes made to the qualification requirements. Candidates for the replaced qualifications are now certificated under the new title of 'Materials Processing' with the appropriate strand.
