AURMTA003 Determine material suitability for competition vehicle components
Assessment tool
Version 1.0 Issue Date: April 2024
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to determine material suitability for constructing competition vehicle components. It involves determining component performance specifications, researching component operating environments, establishing material specifications for the components, and testing material suitability. It involves producing new components from a design as well as producing existing components from new material.
It applies to those working in the motor sport 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 standards defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:
determine material suitability for two different competition vehicle components of which:
one component must be made of metal
one component must be made of a composite material.
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to determining material suitability for competition vehicle components, including procedures for:
following equipment and system isolation requirements
selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE)
key requirements of regulatory body and category rules and their impact on component supplier specifications
types of materials suitable for competition vehicle components, including:
metals and alloys
plastics
fibreglass
carbon
Kevlar
properties of material suitable for competition vehicle components, including:
molecular structure of material
physical properties of fabrication material and material composites
chemical properties of fabrication material and material composites
mechanical properties of fabrication material and material composites
material treatment processes
causes of material degradation
material and component testing procedures, including:
destructive
non-destructive.
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 material that they have tested to determine its suitability for competition vehicle components, e.g. work order.
Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
The following resources must be made available:
motor sport workplace or simulated workplace
workplace instructions
customer requirements, organisational procedures, safety procedures and regulations
competition vehicles requiring components specified in the performance evidence
material, testing equipment and fabrication equipment for the two different competition vehicle components specified in the performance evidence
tools and equipment appropriate for determining material suitability for competition vehicle components.
