Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit applies to installation where the equipment being installed requires substantial modification to the existing site and/or connecting equipment, and excludes minor modifications. Installation covered by this unit also excludes electrical installation.
Work is undertaken utilising new or existing external and internal locations and sites. Foundations, footings, beds and frameworks are completed prior to installation and commissioning. All specifications are applied via engineering drawings, written or verbal instructions.
Routine modifications and alterations are of a minor nature not requiring specification changes or technical recording. Examples would be fitting of spacers, spool pieces, relocation of brackets, alignment of holes etc.
Where existing machines/plant are replaced by the same or similar machine/plant, Unit MEM18006C (Repair and fit engineering components) applies.
If balancing skills or manufacture of gaskets is required, these should be accessed from appropriate units. Where design skills are required, refer to Unit MEM09011B (Apply basic engineering design concepts).
Band: A

Evidence Required
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.
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to install machine/plant requiring substantial modification to the existing site and/or connecting equipment; excluding minor modifications. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate. This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with installing machine/plant or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit. |
Method of assessment | Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials. |

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Required skills |
Look for evidence that confirms skills in: interpreting and following information on written job instructions, manufacturer specifications, standard operating procedures, charts, lists, reports and other applicable reference documents interpreting layout drawings and specifications checking and clarifying information orally reporting routine information planning and sequencing tasks locating and verifying site and levels for installation identifying non-compliances preparing surfaces prior to commencing the installation completing proformas, standard workplace forms, workplace reports and other applicable documents checking for conformance to specifications measuring to specified tolerances performing numerical operations, geometry and engineering calculations/formulae within unit's scope |
Required knowledge |
Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of: installation specification of the machine/plant procedures to follow if the location, dimensions and/or levels of the site do not comply with the specifications procedures for checking whether the installed machine/plant conforms to specifications materials and components to be used in the installation of the machine/plant applicable codes and standards installation sequence methods to locate, fix/fasten machine/plant methods of lifting/moving machine/plant and components techniques, tools and equipment to measure site and machine/plant installation use and application of personal protective equipment safe work practices and procedures hazards and control measures associated with installing machine/plant, including housekeeping |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
Machine/plant | Rotating equipment and machinery such as pumps, blowers, compressors, drive units, etc., production equipment and plant, process equipment, plant and machinery, engineering plant and machine tools etc. |
Routine modifications/alterations | Fitting of spacers, relocation of brackets, alignment of holes etc. |
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
