Version 1.0 Issue Date: May 2024
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to service and repair trailers with an aggregate trailer mass (ATM) of up to 4.5 tonnes. It involves servicing the suspension, brakes, axles, couplings and electrical systems, and completing workplace processes and documentation, including any associated recommendations for further action.
It applies to those working in the automotive service and repair industry. The trailers include those of agricultural machinery, heavy commercial vehicles, light vehicles, marine vessels, mobile plant machinery or outdoor power equipment.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

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 trailers that they have serviced and repaired, 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 repair workplace or simulated workplace
workplace instructions
manufacturer trailer specifications
two different trailers with an ATM up to 4.5 tonnes requiring service and repair
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for servicing and repairing trailers up to 4.5 tonnes.
