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.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Plan maintenance activities | 1.1 | Maintenance plan is accessed to determine electrical system maintenance requirements |
1.2 | Inspections are conducted and additional non-routine maintenance requirements are determined |
1.3 | System specifications and diagrams for electrical systems are obtained |
1.4 | Tasks are planned and sequenced in conjunction with others involved in or affected by maintenance work |
1.5 | Consumables and equipment are selected and checked for serviceability |
2 | Complete preventative maintenance | 2.1 | Electrical system is safely isolated according to regulatory and work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements |
2.2 | WHS/OHS risk control measures and procedures for carrying out work are followed |
2.3 | Preventative maintenance is carried out in compliance with system specifications |
2.4 | Methods for dealing with unexpected situations are selected on the basis of safety and specified work outcomes |
2.5 | Work is carried out efficiently without waste of materials and damage to equipment and machinery or other services |
2.6 | Maintenance work is checked to verify that it conforms with technical specifications |
3 | Complete breakdown maintenance | 3.1 | Nature of breakdown is confirmed using maintenance records and/or log book entries related to reported breakdown |
3.2 | Restrictions are applied to operations, if necessary, and Master is notified |
3.3 | Limits of repair work that can be carried out are established according to relevant state/territory electrical licensing requirements |
3.4 | System is isolated |
3.5 | Repair work is carried out according to system specifications |
3.6 | Master is notified of completion of repair work and details are documented |
4 | Clean up and complete documentation | 4.1 | Work area is cleared and cleaned |
4.2 | Materials are disposed of or recycled according to legislative and workplace requirements |
4.3 | Tools and equipment are cleaned, checked and stored according to workplace procedures |
4.4 | Electrical system and equipment are put back into service and monitored for correct operation according to organisational practices |
4.5 | Maintenance report is completed according to workplace procedures |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least one occasion and include:
carrying out simple maintenance of electrical systems
implementing safe and environmentally responsible work practices
reading and interpreting system specifications.
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:
battery:
charging systems
maintenance
types and associated hazards
connecting batteries in series and parallel
connection to shore power
earth indicating devices
electrical distribution systems
isolation of electrical circuits
main faults that can occur in:

own ability and limits to rectify irregularities and faults
protection devices
single and three-phase AC power
starter motors, alternators and associated equipment
switchboard and protection devices
uses of fuses and circuit breakers
use of multi-meter to test voltage and continuity.
Assessors must satisfy National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (NVR)/Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) assessor requirements.
Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that reflect workplace conditions.
Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
Resources for assessment must include access to:
tools, equipment, machinery, materials and personal protective equipment currently used in industry
applicable documentation such as legislation, regulations, codes of practice, workplace procedures and operational manuals
range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations.
