Assessment tool
Version 1.0 Issue Date: May 2024
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to remove and replace vehicle welded panels and panel sections. It involves preparing for the task, selecting and using specialist tools and equipment, removing, repairing, aligning and welding major vehicle panels and sections, finishing repair to pre-paint condition, and completing workplace processes and documentation.
It applies to those working in the automotive body repair industry.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standard defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:
remove and replace major welded panels on three different vehicles, where each replacement must involve three of the following:
quarter panel
turret
side panel
beaver panel
outer wheel house or similar non-structural panel
during above work, conduct welding according to specifications of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or authorised agency.
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to removing and replacing major welded panels on vehicles, including procedures for:
selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE)
manually handling vehicle panels
using tools and equipment when welding panels
environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of waste materials
OEM or authorised agency vehicle specifications
major welded panel replacement procedures and techniques
repair and alignment methods and techniques, including:
use of tools and equipment, including tagging methods as required
approved welding processes
types and location of high strength steel (HSS)
procedures for protecting vehicle and components when replacing panels
procedures for final inspection of welded panel sections.
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 major welded vehicle panels that they have replaced, 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 workplace or simulated workplace
workplace instructions
PPE required to replace major welded vehicle panels
universal measuring system
OEM or authorised agency’s specifications
OEM or authorised agency’s approved welding equipment
three different vehicles or sections of vehicle requiring replacement of major welded panels
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for replacing major welded vehicle panels.
