AURVTS003 Fabricate vehicle composite material components
Assessment tool
Version 1.0 Issue Date: May 2024
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to fabricate components for automotive application, using composite materials such as fibreglass and carbon fibre. It involves preparing for the task, selecting and using specialist tools and equipment, identifying composite materials, calculating material quantities, mixing and applying recommended composite materials, finishing components to workplace and customer specifications, 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)

3.2 Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected and stored
3.3 Tools and equipment are checked, reported if faulty, 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 standard defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:
fabricate two different vehicle composite components, in which the work must involve one air intake.
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
work health and safety (WHS), and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to fabricating vehicle composite material components, including procedures for:
selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE)
using tools and equipment
satisfying ventilation requirements for work area
using safety data sheets (SDS) for composite materials
handling and storing hazardous resins and chemicals
environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of resins, chemicals and waste materials produced during fabrication process
types and features of composite materials
fabrication methods and techniques, including:
hand and machine operations
mixing and measuring composite materials
mould and plug usage
procedures for final inspection of fabricated composite components.
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 composite components that they have fabricated for vehicles, e.g. work 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
PPE required to fabricate composite components
SDS for composite materials
materials to fabricate composite components
two different vehicle composite components to be fabricated
tools, equipment and materials tools, equipment and materials appropriate for fabricating vehicle composite material components.
