Evidence Required

Assessment context

This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. 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.

Critical aspects

This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with the dismantling, replacement and assembly of engineering components or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied.

Assessment conditions

The candidate will have access to: - All tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate will be permitted to refer to the following documents: - Any relevant workplace procedures. - Any relevant product and manufacturing specifications. - Any relevant codes, standards, manuals and reference materials. The candidate will be required to: - Orally, or by other methods of communication, answer questions put by the assessor. - Identify colleagues who can be approached for the collection of competency evidence where appropriate. - Present evidence of credit for any off-job training related to 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.

Special notes

During assessment the individual will: - demonstrate safe working practices at all times; - communicate information about processes, events or tasks being undertaken to ensure a safe and efficient working environment; - take responsibility for the quality of their own work; - plan tasks in all situations and review task requirements as appropriate; - perform all tasks in accordance with standard operating procedures; - perform all tasks to specification; - use accepted engineering techniques, practices, processes and workplace procedures. Tasks involved will be completed within reasonable timeframes relating to typical workplace activities.

Range Statement

Work undertaken autonomously or in a team environment using predetermined standards of quality, safety and workshop procedures. This unit involves the dismantling, inspection, replacement, assembling of engineering components. All specifications interpreted from manufacturers' manuals, engineering drawings, detailed/technical sketches and associated data sheets. Tasks are undertaken utilising engineering principles, designated procedures, appropriate tools, equipment and safe workshop practices. Replacement parts are selected from manufacturers' catalogues, etc. Appropriate techniques utilised in the assembly of component parts using fastening equipment and methods which ensure conformance to specifications, operational performance, quality and safety; this may include the straightforward removal and replacement of pre-manufactured bearings and seals. Appropriate lubrication, packing, sealing materials are selected and applied in conformance to standard operating procedure. Where precision mechanical measurement is required, then Unit 12.3A (Precision mechanical measurement) must also be selected.
