Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least two separate occasions and include:

adhering to quality procedures

applying relevant work health and safety/occupational health and safety (WHS/OHS) requirements, including using risk control measures

carrying out functional tests

checking and isolating circuits

checking quality of modified sub-assemblies

completing re-work in acceptable timeframe, environment and workplace conditions

completing workplace reports/data sheets

disconnecting and reconnecting components

determining materials for work

following job specifications

inspecting, testing and measuring live work

modifying sub-assemblies

preparing to modify sub-assemblies

rectifying defects

selecting tools and equipment.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

quality management system

relevant manufacturer specifications and operating instructions

relevant materials, tools and equipment

relevant job safety assessments or risk mitigation processes

relevant WHS/OHS legislated requirements

relevant workplace documentation

relevant workplace quality, instructions, policies and procedures.

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in suitable workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated suitable workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment must include access to:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations

relevant and appropriate materials, tools, facilities and equipment currently used in industry

resources that reflect current industry practices in relation to re-working electronic sub-assemblies

applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, equipment specifications, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.

Foundation skills essential to performance are explicit in the performance criteria of this unit of competency.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Non-essential conditions may be found in the UEE Electrotechnology Companion Volume Implementation Guide.
