The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the following is essential:

compliance with relevant legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and organisation policies and procedures for calibration of automotive calibration measuring equipment

working and communicating effectively and positively with others involved in the work

applying, within authority, the requirements of the job or work role in relation to:

preparing for calibration

performing calibration

use of calibration standards

preparing reports of results

achieving work quality goals

completing work area housekeeping requirements including the documentation of project activity and process outcomes.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

assessment of the competency should take place in a safe working environment in a passenger motor vehicle manufacturing plant or simulated environment using tools/equipment/machinery required for the production process without undue disruption to the production process

assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of organisation relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge

assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application

assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process

assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.

This section describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Required skills

speak clearly and directly in order to communicate with audiences of all varying technical backgrounds

apply teamwork to a range of situations to achieve efficient processes

solve problems particularly in teams in order to meet performance indicators

show initiative in adapting to changing work conditions or contexts particularly when working across a variety of work areas

access, interpret and apply information on relevant organisation policies, procedures and instructions, particularly to guidelines for testing sequences and requirements

manage time when planning, preparing and organising work priorities

take responsibility for organising own work priorities.

Required knowledge

relevant Occupational Health and Safety and Environmental legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice and organisation policies and procedures needed to carry out work in a manner which ensures the safety of people, equipment and the environment.

an understanding of the industry/national/international standards structure

planning for calibration

evaluation techniques

types of tools, equipment and procedures for their safe use, operation, maintenance and adjustment of calibration equipment.

established communication channels and protocols

problem identification and resolution methods

procedures for the recording, reporting and maintenance of organisation records and information.

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording in the Performance Criteria is detailed below. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.

Organisationrequirements may include:

access and equity principles and practices

environmental management (waste disposal, recycling and re-use guidelines)

emergency and evacuation procedures

equipment use procedures

ethical standards

legal obligations

maintenance and storage procedures

OHS requirements

organisational and site guidelines

policies and procedures relating to own role and responsibility

procedural manuals

quality assurance guidelines

quality and continuous improvement processes and standards

recording and reporting guidelines.

Calibration of measuring equipment in Automotive Development may include:

the use of recognised external standards to insure that measuring equipment is calibrated to reflect those standards when in use. The measuring equipment may include mechanical/electrical/gas measuring equipment used in Automotive Development and may include dynamometers. Standards may include certified organisational, industry, national or international standards.

Instructions may include:

workplace procedures relating to the use and operation of tools and equipment

departmental requirements

workplace instructions, including job sheets, plans, specifications, drawings and designs

workplace procedures relating to reporting and communications

manufacturers' instructions for the use of equipment and materials

industry, national and/or international standards.
