Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare to repair adhesive bonded structural damage
   • Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions
   • Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or authorised agency’s recommended bonding and repair procedures are accessed and interpreted
   • Adhesive specifications and application instructions, including safety data sheets (SDS), and bonding materials are selected and prepared
   • Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed
   • Adhesive application tools and equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) are selected and checked for serviceability
   • Work is planned to identify adhesive bonding methods, minimise waste, and use time efficiently
2. Remove and replace bonded sections
   • Replacement panels and components are checked against vehicle specifications and for quality
   • Bonded panels and structures are removed according to OEM procedures and without causing damage to system or components
   • Bonded panels and structures are repaired according to OEM procedures and stored until required
   • Bonded panels and structures are refitted using approved bonding methods, adhesives, materials and equipment according to OEM or authorised agency specifications, and safety and environmental requirements
   • Sealants are selected and applied according to OEM or authorised agency’s specifications and workplace procedures
   • Bonded panels and structures are cleaned without causing damage to systems or components
3. Complete work processes
   • Final inspection is made to ensure work meets workplace expectations and manufacturer specifications, and bonded vehicle panels and structures are presented ready for painting
   • Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected and stored
   • Tools and equipment are checked, reported if faulty, and stored according to workplace procedures
   • Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures
