Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

MSL904003 - Perform standard calibrations

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Prepare items for calibration

  1. Select the appropriate calibration procedure for the test in accordance with workplace procedures
  2. Identify hazards and use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), safety equipment and procedures
  3. Confirm all measuring equipment complies with laboratory’s specification requirements and calibration procedure
  4. Prepare reference standards and equipment for testing
  5. Verify performance of reference standards and measuring equipment before use and quarantine out-of-calibration items in accordance with workplace procedures
  6. Identify and minimise potential sources of measurement error
  7. Perform individual tests without variance in accordance with the documented procedure to ensure repeatability of measurement
  8. Confirm readings are the result of a valid measurement and record data (as-found or before adjustment)
  9. Adjust device under test to bring readings within specification of calibration and record data (as-left or after adjustment)
  10. Analyse test data for trends or inconsistencies that would significantly affect the accuracy or validity of test results
  11. Repeat calibration if measurement has been compromised
  12. Seek appropriate advice when interpretation of results is outside authorised scope of approval
  13. Estimate and document uncertainty of measurement in accordance with workplace procedures
  14. Document compliance or non-compliance with test requirements and/or specifications
  15. Record the results of each test or calibration accurately, unambiguously and objectively
  16. Ensure confidentiality of workplace information in accordance with workplace procedures
  17. Prepare and issue a final report detailing testing carried out, traceability, statement of compliance and relevant information
  18. Report any non-compliance and verify next course of action
  19. Attach calibration labels, equipment stickers, quality control tags and tamper-resistant seals in accordance with workplace procedures
  20. Store test equipment, measurement standards and results in accordance with workplace procedures
Select the appropriate calibration procedure for the test in accordance with workplace procedures
