Unit of Competency MEM10008B - Undertake commissioning procedures for plant and/or equipment
Description This unit covers undertaking commissioning work on internally or externally located plant and/or equipment.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit applies to commissioning work undertaken on internally or externally located plant and/or equipment that is new, or replaced, or has been extensively modified (by people usually outside of the commissioning individual or team). Technical difficulties are resolved in consultation with appropriate technical advisers. All work is undertaken to specifications supplied via engineering drawings and data sheets, written and verbal instructions, regulatory and legislative requirements. Additional specialisation units may be required for some specialist applications e.g. fluid power, instrumentation and PLC etc.This unit is not intended to be used by maintenance personnel completing their own work, including return to service work. These activities are covered in Unit MEM18004B (Maintain and overhaul mechanical equipment, and/or Unit MEM09011B (Apply basic engineering design concepts), and/or Unit MEM18006C (Repair and fit engineering components), and/or MEM18048B (Fault find and repair/rectify basic electrical circuits), and/or MEM18054B (Fault find, test and calibrate instrumentation systems and equipment).If reports are required, Unit MEM16010B (Write reports) should also be selected.Band: BUnit Weight: 4
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Evidence Required

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.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to undertake commissioning procedures for plant and/or equipment. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.

This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with undertaking commissioning procedures for plant and/or equipment or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit.

Method of assessment

Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials.

Guidance information for assessment

Submission Requirements

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

Look for evidence that confirms skills in:

obtaining work approvals and permits

selecting measuring/testing devices

safely taking measurements/readings

recording variations in machine/plant performance from specification

making appropriate adjustments to machine/plant

completing short reports using relevant technical terminology

reading, interpreting and following information on written job instructions, specifications, manufacturer documents, commissioning procedures, charts, lists, drawings and other applicable reference documents

planning and sequencing operations

checking and clarifying task related information

entering information onto standard workplace forms and reports

checking for conformance to specifications

using precision measurement equipment

undertaking numerical operations and calculations/formulae within the scope of this unit

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of:

the sequence of events in the commissioning of the machine/plant

performance tests appropriate to the machine/plant to be commissioned

measurements required to ensure conformance to specifications and correct points at which measurements are to be taken

appropriate adjustments to bring the machine/plant into line with operational specifications based on engineering principles or appropriate technical advice

reporting requirements relevant to the machine/plant being commissioned

use and application of personal protective equipment

safe work practices and procedures

relevant hazards and control measures related to the competency

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Plant/system

Rotating equipment and machinery, production equipment, plant and machinery, process equipment, and machine tools etc.

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.
