This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to utilise a standardised product description language, such as AUS-MEAT, to describe pork products.

This unit applies to individuals who work in meat processing, particularly in boning rooms. It is designed to provide slicers, boners and packers with an understanding of how a standardised product description system is used in a workplace.

This unit does not have to be delivered as part of an AUS-MEAT Standards Officer course (language). However, it does align with the AUS-MEAT Statement of Attainment for the Pork Specification course.

This unit must not be delivered in the same qualification with AMPQUA422 Specify pork product using AUS-MEAT language.

All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, according to state/territory health and safety, food and meat safety regulations, legislation and standards that apply to the workplace.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
