Conduct environmental tests
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This unit was developed for environmental 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 environmental tests of explosive ordnance and other equipment.
Environmental tests are conducted to ensure weapon systems and explosive ordnance in service with the Australian Defence Force meet the required environmental standards. The tests are also conducted on other Defence and non Defence equipment. The environmental tests can be conducted as a component of the assessment of safety and suitability for service (S3 process) or as an in-service survey.
This unit does not cover the planning of environmental tests, which is covered in DEFEO602C Plan explosive ordnance trials.
