Conduct non-destructive testing

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit describes the performance outcomes required to perform non-destructive testing on vehicle components and materials. It involves preparing for non-destructive testing, testing components and materials in order to determine component suitability and serviceability, and completing workplace processes.

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)



Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Elements

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance Criteria

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold and italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section.

1. Prepare for non-destructive testing

1.1 Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions

1.2 Non-destructive testing information is sourced and interpreted

1.3 Testing procedures are analysed, and those most appropriate for component material are selected

1.4 Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed

1.5 Tools and testing equipment are selected and checked for serviceability, and inspection area is prepared for testing according to workplace procedures

2. Perform non-destructive testing activities

2.1 Testing is carried out according to workplace procedures and safety requirements

2.2 Test results are compared with component specifications and non-conformities and defects are identified as required

2.3 Findings are documented according to workplace procedures

3. Complete work processes

3.1 Final inspection is made to ensure work is to workplace expectations

3.2 Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected

3.3 Tools and equipment are checked and stored according to workplace procedures

3.4 Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures

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:

carry out non-destructive testing on four different competition vehicle components, in which the work must involve:

dye-penetrant testing of one component

magnetic particle testing of one component.

Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to conducting non-destructive testing, including procedures for using flammable and toxic dye penetrant sprays

types and limitations of non-destructive tests, including:

dye-penetrant

wet magnetic particle

Rockwell, Brinell and Vickers hardness

vacuum

pressure

non-destructive testing procedures, including:

preparation, including methods of cleaning that do not mask faults

equipment use, maintenance and storage

analysis techniques

procedures for recording results of non-destructive testing.

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 non-destructive testing they have conducted on competition vehicle components, e.g. analysis documentation.

Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.

The following resources must be made available:

automotive repair workplace or simulated workplace

workplace instructions

component specifications

four different competition vehicle components requiring the non-destructive testing specified in the performance evidence

equipment, tools and materials appropriate for dye-penetrant testing and magnetic particle testing.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This section specifies work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below.

Safety requirements must include:

work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, including procedures for using flammable and toxic dye penetrant sprays.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
