  • Verify performance of reference standards and measuring equipment before use and quarantine out-of-calibration items in accordance with workplace procedures
  • Identify and minimise potential sources of measurement error
  • Perform individual tests without variance in accordance with the documented procedure to ensure repeatability of measurement
  • Confirm readings are the result of a valid measurement and record data (as-found or before adjustment)
  • Adjust device under test to bring readings within specification of calibration and record data (as-left or after adjustment)
  • Analyse test data for trends or inconsistencies that would significantly affect the accuracy or validity of test results
  • Repeat calibration if measurement has been compromised
  • Seek appropriate advice when interpretation of results is outside authorised scope of approval
  • Estimate and document uncertainty of measurement in accordance with workplace procedures
  • Document compliance or non-compliance with test requirements and/or specifications
  • Record the results of each test or calibration accurately, unambiguously and objectively
  • Ensure confidentiality of workplace information in accordance with workplace procedures
  • Prepare and issue a final report detailing testing carried out, traceability, statement of compliance and relevant information
  • Report any non-compliance and verify next course of action
  • Attach calibration labels, equipment stickers, quality control tags and tamper-resistant seals in accordance with workplace procedures
  • Store test equipment, measurement standards and results in accordance with workplace procedures

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.
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.
