Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standards defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:
water test two different marine engines in tanks, including one outboard engine.
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to testing marine engines in water tanks, including procedures for:
lifting and supporting marine engines
working with rotating engine components
placing marine engines in test tanks
environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of fluids released from marine engines during water testing
application, purpose and operation of water testing tanks, including:
methods of mounting engines to test tank
engine test propellers

oil pressure gauges
fuel pressure and flow gauges
tachometers
temperature probes
procedures for performance testing marine engines in water tanks, including load testing
procedures for compiling engine performance reports.
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 vessels or engines that they have tested in water tanks, e.g. repair 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:
marine repair workplace or simulated workplace
workplace instructions
manufacturer engine specifications
water tank for testing marine engines
two different marine engines requiring water testing in tanks
marine engine test equipment as specified in the knowledge evidence
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for water testing marine engines in tanks.
