Sample, inspect and test products to specifications

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to sample, inspect and test products to specifications in accordance with relevant regulations, codes of practice, Australian Standards and workplace quality standards within the transport and logistics industry.

It includes establishing specifications and testing procedures, selecting evidence, conducting and interpreting tests, and reporting findings as part of operations.

Work is performed under limited supervision, generally within a team environment. Discretion and judgement are exercised in planning and using resources, services and processes to achieve required outcomes within organisational policy and procedures.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

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 replicate 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 include:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations

applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, SDSs/MSDSs, codes of practice and operation manuals

relevant materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry.

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.
