Apply automotive body and paint knowledge to vehicle loss assessments

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit describes the performance outcomes required to apply automotive body and paintwork knowledge to identify body and paint damage.

The unit applies to those applying specialist body and paint knowledge to a vehicle loss assessment in the loss assessment environment. Vehicles and components may include light vehicles, commercial vehicle, heavy vehicles, agricultural and plant equipment, recreational vehicles and motorcycles.

Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements may apply to this unit in some jurisdictions. Users are advised to check with the relevant regulatory authority.

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.
