Application
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to dismantle, identify faulty components, select replacements and assemble engineering components into assemblies or sub-assemblies in accordance with standard operating procedures (SOPs).
It also applies to the straightforward removal and replacement of pre-manufactured bearings and seals.
Where precision mechanical measurement is required unit MEM12003 Perform precision mechanical measurement should also be selected.
Where fitting techniques and principles are required to assess component condition, and/or modify components to achieve precision fits unit MEM18006 Perform precision fitting of engineering components should also be selected.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
