Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to inspect and remove salvageable vehicle components and present for sale. It involves preparing for the task, selecting and using specialist tools and equipment, identifying salvageable components, removing salvageable components according to manufacturer specifications, cleaning and tagging the components for sale, and completing workplace processes and documentation.
It applies to those working in the automotive parts recycling industry.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Elements and Performance Criteria
Elements Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance Criteria Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold and italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section. |

Prepare to remove salvageable components | 1.1 Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions 1.2 Manufacturer specifications and workplace procedures for removing salvageable components are sourced and interpreted 1.3 Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed 1.4 Tools and equipment are identified and checked for serviceability 1.5 Work is planned to identify removal processes, prevent damage to components, and use time efficiently |
2. Remove, clean and prepare salvageable components for sale | 2.1 Salvageable components are removed from vehicle according to established removal process, manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements 2.2 Components are cleaned, labelled and prepared for sale according to workplace procedures |
3. Complete work processes | 3.1 Final inspection is made to ensure work meets workplace expectations and salvageable components are presented ready for sale 3.2 Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected and stored 3.3 Tools and equipment are checked, reported if faulty, and stored according to workplace procedures 3.4 Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures |
Evidence of Performance
Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standard defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:
remove, clean and prepare salvageable components for sale from three different vehicles.
Evidence of Knowledge
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to removing and cleaning salvageable vehicle components, including procedures for:
selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE)
manually handling and storing vehicle components
using tools and equipment
environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of waste materials and vehicle fluids released during the process
types, location and content of hard copy and electronic manufacturer service and repair manuals
techniques and methods for removing salvageable components, including:
removal, cleaning and presentation methods and techniques
component cleaning materials
procedures for inspecting components
procedures for preparing and labelling components for sale
cleaning methods, materials and equipment required to prepare components.
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 components they have salvaged, e.g. work 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 repair workplace or simulated workplace
workplace instructions
manufacturer service and repair manuals
three different vehicles with salvageable components for removal
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for removing salvageable components, including:
component labels
component cleaning materials
required PPE.
