AURVTN028 Identify and repair high strength steel vehicle components
Assessment tool
Version 1.0 Issue Date: May 2024
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to locate, identify and repair high strength steel (HSS) vehicle components, including advanced and ultra-high strength steel. It involves preparing for the task, selecting and using specialist tools and equipment, confirming recommended repair procedure from original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or authorised agency, selecting repair procedures and recommended welding method, removing and replacing HSS components, finishing HSS repairs 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:
identify and repair high strength steel (HSS) components to pre-paint condition on three different damaged vehicles.
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to identifying and repairing HSS vehicle components, including procedures for:
selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE)
manually handling vehicle components
using tools and equipment
environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of waste materials
original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or authorised agency’s:
vehicle specifications and measurements
approved repair procedures and quality processes

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 damaged HSS vehicle components 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
OEM or authorised agency’s approved specifications and recommended repair procedures
OEM or authorised agency’s approved welding equipment
PPE required to repair HSS components
three different damaged vehicles requiring HSS component repairs
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for identifying and repairing HSS vehicle components.
