This unit describes the performance outcomes required to repair radiators. It involves preparing for the task, cleaning, inspecting, repairing and performing post-repair testing on radiators, and completing workplace processes and documentation.
It applies to those working in the automotive service and repair industry. The radiators include those in vehicles from all sectors of the industry.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

2.1 Radiator is dismantled as required according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements
2.2 Radiator is cleaned, inspected, measured and tested according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures and safety requirements
2.3 Radiator is evaluated and repair requirements are determined and reported according to workplace procedures
2.4 Components are repaired, replaced and adjusted according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures and safety requirements
3. Complete work processes
3.1 Final inspection is made to ensure work is to workplace expectations and radiator is presented ready for use or stored according to workplace procedures
3.2 Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected
3.3 Tools and equipment are checked and stored according to workplace procedures
3.4 Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures
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:
repair three different radiators, in which the work must involve the following materials:
aluminium
copper
plastic.
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to repairing radiators, including procedures for:
using heating and welding equipment
working with corrosive cleaning agents
environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of coolant released from radiators
application, purpose and operation of radiators, including:
aluminium, copper and plastic radiators
cooling system, heater core and intercoolers
dismantling procedures for aluminium, copper and plastic radiators
cleaning, inspecting and testing procedures for aluminium, copper and plastic radiators, including:
visual inspection
pressure testing
tank testing
repair procedures for aluminium, copper and plastic radiators, including soldering
post-repair procedures for radiators, including pressure testing.
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 radiators that they have repaired, 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:
automotive repair workplace or simulated workplace
workplace instructions
three different radiators made of the materials specified in the performance evidence and requiring repair
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for repairing radiators.
