Occupation is a set of job roles, which perform similar/ related set of
functions in an industry.
Function is an activity necessary for achieving the key purpose of the
sector, occupation, or an area of work, which can be carried out by a
person or a group of persons. Functions are identified through functional
analysis and form the basis of OS.
Sub-functions are sub-activities essential to fulfil the achieving the
objectives of the function.
Job role defines a unique set of functions that together form a unique
employment opportunity in an organisation.
OS specify the standards of performance an individual must achieve
when carrying out a function in the workplace, together with the

consistently. Occupational Standards are applicable both in the Indian
and global contexts.
Performance criteria are statements that together specify the standard of
performance required when carrying out a task.
NOS are occupational standards which apply uniquely in the Indian
context.
QP comprises the set of OS, together with the educational, training and
other criteria required to perform a job role. A QP is assigned a unique
qualifications pack code.
Unit code is a unique identifier for an Occupational Standard, which is
denoted by an N
Unit title gives a clear overall statement about what the incumbent
should be able to do.
Description gives a short summary of the unit content. This would be
helpful to anyone searching on a database to verify that this is the
appropriate OS they are looking for.
Scope is a set of statements specifying the range of variables that an
individual may have to deal with in carrying out the function which have
a critical impact on quality of performance required.
Knowledge and understanding are statements which together specify the
