Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare to evaluate electronic apparatus compliance
   • WHS/OHS processes and workplace procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and applied
2. Hazards are identified, WHS/OHS risks are assessed, and control measures and workplace procedures are implemented in preparation for work
3. Examination and testing areas are checked for safety hazards and risk control measures are implemented in accordance with workplace safety policy and procedures
4. Relevant documentation is obtained and read to determine the certification/approval specifications for which the apparatus/equipment is to be assessed
5. Advice is sought from the relevant supervisor to ensure work is coordinated effectively with others
6. Tools, testing devices and materials needed to carry out work are obtained and checked for correct operation and safety
7. Evaluate electronic apparatus compliance
