Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This unit was developed for proof testing specialists working within proof and experimental organisations in Defence but is applicable to any individual in this field of work.
Typically these individuals must demonstrate the ability to work as individuals and as part of a team under direct and/or indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their output. All activities are carried out in accordance with relevant organisational policies and procedures.
This unit covers the competency required to conduct dynamic small arms proof tests in the explosive ordnance environment.
Explosive ordnance dynamic small arms proof tests are conducted to ensure weapons systems or small arms ammunition in service with the Australian Defence Force meets the required standards. The dynamic small arms proof tests are a common component of explosive ordnance quality assurance and involve a number of personnel both in their planning and implementation.
This unit does not cover the planning of dynamic small arms proof tests, which is covered in DEFEO602C Plan explosive ordnance trials.
