Remove and tag steering, suspension and braking system components

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit describes the performance outcomes required to identify, remove and tag a range of steering, suspension and braking system components. It involves preparing for the work, removing and tagging components by title, job number and application, and completing workplace processes and documentation.

It applies to those undertaking a Vocational Education and Training in Schools (VETiS) or pre-vocational qualification as preparation for entering the automotive retail, service and repair industry. The unit is designed for use in a highly supervised context and is not suitable for use in a vocational qualification.

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:

remove and tag the following components from one vehicle:

steering component

suspension component

brake component.

Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to removing and tagging steering, suspension and braking system components, including procedures for:

working with stored energy in springs, air springs and torsion bars

working with brake dust and hydraulic fluids

environmental requirements, including procedures for:

trapping, storing and disposing of oils and fluids

safely disposing of contaminated parts and components

identification and basic function of components to be removed and tagged, including:

steering components

suspension components

brake components

procedures for removing and tagging steering, suspension and braking system components, including:

component removal

component inspection

component tagging, including key information required on tags

component storage.

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 steering, suspension and braking system components that they have removed and tagged, e.g. repair 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:

automotive workplace or simulated workplace

task instructions

manufacturer steering, suspension and brake specifications

one vehicle with the components specified in the performance evidence requiring removal and tagging

tools, equipment and materials appropriate for removing and tagging steering, suspension and braking system components.


Submission Requirements

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.
