Dismantle, replace and assemble engineering components
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: June 2024
This unit involves dismantling, checking, replacing and assembling engineering components in accordance with standard operating procedures.
All specifications are interpreted from manufacturers' manuals, engineering drawings, detailed/technical sketches and associated data sheets. Tasks are undertaken utilising engineering principles, designated procedures, appropriate tools, equipment and safe workshop practices.
Work is undertaken autonomously or in a team environment using predetermined standards of quality, safety and workshop procedures.
Where fitting techniques and principles are required to assess component condition, and/or modify components to achieve precision fits, unit MEM18006C (Repair and fit engineering components) should also be selected.
Where precision mechanical measurement is required, then Unit MEM12003B (Perform precision mechanical measurement) should also be selected.
Band: A
Unit Weight: 3
This unit covers dismantling and identifying faulty components, selecting replacements, and assembling engineering components into assemblies or sub-assemblies in accordance with standard operating procedures.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

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 dismantle, replace and assemble engineering components. 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 dismantling, replacing and assembling engineering components 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: obtaining and interpreting all relevant instructions, standard operating procedures, drawings and specifications preparing component for dismantling dismantling components using appropriate techniques, tools and equipment marking component parts appropriately for identification purposes checking components visually and dimensionally for conformance to specification where appropriate, marking faulty parts for repair, replacement or adjustment selecting and confirming replacement parts to specifications obtaining and using all relevant supplier catalogues preparing and assembling components using appropriate techniques in accordance with standard operating procedures where appropriate, applying lubricants correctly to the assembly in accordance with specifications and standard operating procedures where appropriate, applying packing and/or sealing materials in accordance with specifications and standard operating procedures inspecting and checking the final assembly for conformance to specification where appropriate, returning the final assembly to use |
Required knowledge |
Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of: tasks to be performed in accordance with standard operating procedures procedures for dismantling the assembly tools and equipment to be used to dismantle the components procedures and required equipment for checking components for conformance to specification specifications of the components to be replaced features and/or dimensions upon which replacement parts are to be selected process of identifying replacement parts from "third party" suppliers' catalogues procedures for assembling components requirements of the assembly in terms of specifications, operational performance, quality and safety procedures for lubricating the assembly materials checks to be undertaken during inspection of the final assembly procedures for returning components/assemblies into use hazards and control measures associated with dismantling, replacing and assembling engineering components, including housekeeping safe work practices and procedures |
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. | |
Engineering components | Includes a range of component parts found in equipment or product assemblies, sub-assemblies, e.g. couplings, universal joints, pumps etc. employing shafts, pre-manufactured bearings and seals, lubricants, fasteners, gaskets etc. |
Appropriate tools and equipment | Includes a range of hand and power tools, bearing pullers, special purpose dismantling and assembly tools etc. |
Selected | Replacement parts are selected from manufacturers' catalogues, etc. |
Appropriate techniques | Are in accordance with standard operating procedures and may include the straightforward removal and replacement of pre-manufactured bearings and seals |
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.
