Repair vehicle aluminium body panels without the use of body filler

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the performance outcomes required to repair vehicle aluminium body panels without the use of body filler. It involves preparing for the task, selecting and using specialist aluminium repair tools and equipment, including tungsten inert gas (TIG) and metal inert gas (MIG) welding equipment, repairing vehicle aluminium body panels, finishing repair to pre-paint condition, and completing workplace processes and documentation.

It applies to those working in the automotive body repair 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 standard defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:

repair and finish two different vehicle aluminium body panels to pre-paint condition without the use of body filler, including:

one panel with damage of a minimum size of 300 mm x 50 mm

one panel with a split of 150 mm.

Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to repairing vehicle aluminium body panels without the use of body filler, including procedures for:

selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE)

manually handling vehicle panels

using tools and equipment, including tungsten inert gas (TIG) and metal inert gas (MIG) welding equipment

environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of waste materials

original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or authorised agency repair technical information

different types of aluminium materials and their characteristics

types and use of aluminium-specific repair tools and materials to prevent cross-contamination

aluminium repair and finishing methods and techniques, including:

aluminium welding processes and techniques

pre-paint panel finish

procedures for final inspection of repaired aluminium body panels.

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 aluminium body panels that they have repaired without the use of body filler, 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 detailing job requirements

OEM or authorised agency repair specifications

PPE required to repair aluminium body panels

approved aluminium TIG and MIG welding equipment

two different damaged vehicle aluminium body panels requiring repair and finishing without the use of body filler to pre-paint quality standard

tools, equipment and materials appropriate for repairing vehicle aluminium body panels without the use of body filler.
