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 overhaul engine fuel system components. 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 overhauling engine fuel system components, 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.

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:

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

planning and sequencing operations

checking task-related information

dismantling the engine fuel system components

using specialised tools and test equipment

visually checking parts for abnormal wear or defects

storing fuel system parts

identifying parts according to their original location in the pump/injector

identifying parts to be reused/replaced

measuring fuel system components

recording measurements

obtaining specifications, parts lists, etc. of fuel system components

replacing, reconditioning and assembling faulty components

testing and setting to specification fuel system components

undertaking calculations and numerical operations within the scope of this unit

checking for conformance to specification

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of:

the sequence for disassembling engine fuel components

specialised tools required and their application

common defects, examples and causes of abnormal wear

the characteristics of surface finishes and wear patterns for fuel system components

the method of cleaning fuel system components

the appropriate solvents for cleaning fuel systems

the procedures for cleaning, protecting and storing fuel system components

the procedures for marking fuel system components in readiness for reassembly

the measuring instruments to be used to measure fuel system components and reasons for selecting the chosen measuring instruments

the procedures for recording fuel system component measurements

the principles of operation of diesel fuel systems

the procedures for reconditioning and/or replacing faulty fuel system components

the procedures for assembling and testing fuel system components

the specifications of the fuel system components

the tools, techniques and equipment required to carry out fuel system component tests

the procedures for setting fuel system components

hazards and control measures associate with overhauling engine fuel system components, including housekeeping

safe work practices and procedures

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.

Governors

Governor types include mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic and electronic

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.
