Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to identify and tag a range of vehicle body components. It involves preparing for the work, removing and tagging body components by title, job number and application, and completing workplace processes and documentation.
It applies to those undertaking a Vocational Education and Training in Schools (VETiS) or pre-vocational qualification as preparation to entering the automotive body repair industry. The unit is designed for use in a highly supervised context and is not suitable for use in a vocational qualification.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Assessment Conditions
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the vehicle body components that they have removed and tagged, e.g. repair orders.
Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
The following resources must be made available:
automotive workplace or simulated workplace
workplace instructions
vehicle with body components for removal as specified in the performance evidence
tools, equipment and material appropriate for removing and tagging vehicle body components.
