Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare to test components
   • Job requirements and units and components to be tested are determined from workplace instructions
   • Task information is sourced and interpreted
   • Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed
   • Tools and equipment, including personal protective equipment (PPE), are selected and checked for safe and correct operation
   • Work is planned to identify disassembly and testing methods, minimise waste, and use time efficiently
2. Disassemble components
   • Components are disassembled according to workplace procedures, manufacturer specifications, and safety and environmental requirements
   • Disassembled components are checked for damage or wear against manufacturer specifications
3. Clean components
   • Cleaning procedure is determined from manufacturer specifications, safety data sheets (SDS), and workplace procedures
   • Components are cleaned using approved cleaning products, materials and equipment according to safety and environmental requirements
4. Test components
   • Component is tested to determine correct operation and quality standard
   • Repair or replacement of component is determined according to test results and workplace procedures
5. Complete work processes
   • Final inspection is made to ensure work meets workplace expectations and manufacturer specifications, and components are presented ready for use
   • Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected and stored
