|
4. | Complete commission or decommission electrical equipment or installation | 4.1. | Check work undertaken against work schedules for conformance with requirements and report anomalies in accordance with established procedures |
4.2. | Document completion of commissioning or decommissioning of electrical equipment or installation in accordance with established procedures |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least two (2) occasions and include:
following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices
identifying and interpreting circuits, drawings, specifications, commissioning, decommissioning switching schedules and instructions relevant to the work to be undertaken
preparing and following work plans associated with commissioning and decommissioning electrical equipment or installation in accordance with legislative and regulatory requirements, hazard and safety requirements
complying with the Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules and regulatory requirements for high voltage and low voltage electrical equipment and installations
selecting the appropriate measuring and testing devices
conducting briefing sessions to all personnel participating in or affected by the work
preparing the site, including signage, barriers and warning devices
commissioning electrical equipment or installation using a systems approach
verifying the performance of the installed equipment/system to meet the design requirements through a series of tests/measurements
making adjustments, where necessary, to ensure conformance with the specified design intent
capturing and recording performance data of the whole installation as the baseline for future operation and maintenance
decommissioning electrical equipment or installation
shutting down and isolating electrical equipment sequentially in preparation for maintenance or repair using lock out and tag procedures and safe working practices
seeking assistance from authorised personnel for site specific commissioning and decommissioning of electrical equipment and installations including the need for high voltage switching
documenting completion of commissioning/decommissioning process in accordance with SOPs.
Evidence required to demonstrate the required knowledge for this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:
safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules and regulatory requirements for high voltage and low voltage electrical installations
industry personnel to be consulted for advice on commissioning or decommissioning procedures
test and commissioning, including:
procedures required for a particular electrical equipment or installation
objectives to be achieved, including:
to verify proper functioning of the equipment/system after installation
to verify that the performance of the installed equipment/systems meet with the specified design intent through a series of tests and adjustments
to capture and record performance data of the whole installation as a baseline for future operation and maintenance
using a systems approach, including:
performance tests appropriate to equipment/installation to be commissioned
measurements required to ensure conformance to specifications
adjustments to be made to meet specified design and operational requirements
the use of appropriate test equipment
decommissioning of electrical equipment or installation, including:
procedures required for a particular electrical equipment or installation
a working knowledge of the electrical equipment or installation in order to sequentially shut down and isolate for the purposes of repair and maintenance including using lock out and tag procedures to enable safe removal of equipment/conductors
types of operational forms, access authorities, permits and requirements associated with high voltage switching
reporting requirements relevant to the electrical equipment or installation being commissioned.
Assessors must:
have vocational competency in commissioning and decommissioning high and low voltage equipment or installations at least to the level being assessed with relevant industry knowledge and experience
satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 and comply with the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011 or equivalent legislation covering VET regulation in a non-referring State as the case requires.
Where possible assessment must occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment that reflects realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications.
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.
