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 |

2 | Assess the system | 2.1 | Identify and adhere to quality assurance requirements for repair or service |
| 2.2 | Assess storage capacity and regulator size to ensure they are adequate for the load and do not exceed regulatory requirements and standards |
| 2.3 | Ensure that piping and ventilation used comply with regulatory requirements and standards |
| 2.4 | Evaluate the system's piping size to ensure it is appropriate for the dimensions and loads |
| 2.5 | Check to ensure that size used for main run and branches provides minimum inlet pressure to each appliance in accordance with regulatory requirements and standards |
| 2.6 | Check the set-out of the piping system to ensure correct position for appliances and cylinders and compliance with regulatory requirements and standards |
3 | Plan and prepare the job | 3.1 | Plan all necessary and appropriate tasks in conjunction with others involved in or affected by the work |
| 3.2 | Inform appropriate authorities of planned work and obtain and submit work notices, where required |
| 3.3 | Estimate and order any required materials, equipment and appliances for the job and organise delivery |
| 3.4 | Check materials, equipment and appliances delivered against the order form or delivery docket to ensure they correspond and are in an acceptable condition |
| 3.5 | Identify and select appropriate tools and equipment for the repair/service |
| 3.6 | Use appropriate PPE and read and interpret any safety information relevant to the job |
4 | Service/repair system | 4.1 | Service system, repair fault or install appliance in accordance with job requirements, standards and manufacturer specifications |
| 4.2 | Repair piping system in accordance with job requirements and standards |
| 4.3 | Position appliances to ensure adequate air supply and ventilation in accordance with job requirements and standards |
| 4.4 | Locate and check consumer instruction plates, labels and compliance plates to ensure they comply with regulatory requirements and standards |
5 | Test the system | 5.1 | Adjust regulator to provide flow pressure in accordance with standards and enterprise requirements |
| 5.2 | Select test equipment which is appropriate for the work |
| 5.3 | Test the system, including ventilation, in accordance with standards and enterprise requirements |
| 5.4 | Adjust the system to provide the required flow pressure in accordance with standards and enterprise requirements |
| 5.5 | Record test data in the format required by relevant regulatory and enterprise requirements |
6 | Complete the job | 6.1 | Assess work against the requirements of the job |
| 6.2 | Assess quality of the total job in accordance with enterprise standards and requirements |
| 6.3 | Complete all required paperwork for both customer and enterprise records |
| 6.4 | Complete required clean-up procedures |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and demonstrate the ability to:
assess and plan LPG system service and/or repair in at least three (3) recreational vehicles
service and/or repair and test an LPG system in at least three (3) recreational vehicles
interpret requirements and plan work
identify hazards and apply relevant hazard controls
recognise situations requiring action and take the appropriate action
communicate effectively with team/work group and supervisors.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
hazards that may arise in the job/work environment and subsequent use of the LPG system, including gas properties and hazards, and combustion principles
allowable cylinders, regulators, fittings and pressures
determination of system capacity and size for requirements
piping system design for requirements
service/repair procedures and the reasons for those procedures
materials and tools to be used and their correct usage
checks and adjustments to be made
relevant regulatory requirements.
The unit should be assessed holistically and the judgement of competence based on a holistic assessment of the evidence.
The collection of performance evidence:
should occur over a range of situations which include typical disruptions to normal, smooth operation
will typically include a supervisor/third-party report or other evidence, focusing on consistent performance and problem recognition and solving. A supervisor/third-party report must be prepared by someone who has a direct, relevant, current relationship with the person being assessed and who is in a position to form a judgement on workplace performance relevant to the unit of competency
may use industry-based simulation for all or part of the unit particularly where safety, lack of opportunity or significant cost is an issue.
Assessment should 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 reflecting 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.
Knowledge evidence may be collected concurrently with performance evidence (provided a record is kept) or through an independent process, such as workbooks, written assessments or interviews (provided a record is kept).
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.
Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
The regulatory framework will be reflected in workplace policies and procedures and is not required to be independently assessed.
Foundation skills are integral to competent performance of the unit and should not be assessed separately.
As a minimum, assessors must satisfy the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 assessor requirements.
