This unit describes the performance outcomes required to assemble bicycles from a semi-assembled state. It involves preparing for the work, selecting and using specialist tools and equipment, selecting bicycle components, assembling bicycle frames, fitting, adjusting and testing bicycle components and accessories, and completing workplace processes and documentation.
It applies to those working in the bicycle retail, service and repair industry.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standard defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:
assemble three different semi-assembled bicycles, in which the work must involve:
one bicycle with gears
one bicycle with disc brakes
one road bicycle
fit and adjust the following components during the above assemblies:
head stem and bearings
disc and rim brakes
seats
wheels
pedals
sprockets, gears and chains.
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to assembling bicycles, including procedures for manually handling bicycles
environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of waste grease and oils
Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) product safety standards relating to assembling bicycles
key bicycle component and accessory terminology
types of bicycles and their key features
procedures for assembling and adjusting bicycles, including:
types and use of bicycle assembly tools and equipment, including torque wrenches
bicycle measuring techniques
fitting and adjustment procedures for the components specified in the performance evidence
greasing and lubrication procedures
bicycle testing procedures, including post-assembly adjustment and safety checks.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the bicycles that they have assembled, e.g. bicycle assembly orders.
Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
The following resources must be made available:
bicycle workplace or simulated workplace
workplace instructions
ACCC product safety standards relating to bicycles
three different bicycles requiring assembly, including one bicycle with gears, one with disc brakes, and one road bicycle
tools and equipment appropriate for assembling bicycles.
