AURVTN034 - Evaluate vehicle body repair materials, equipment and work processes
Assessor Resource
AURVTN034 Evaluate vehicle body repair materials, equipment and work processes
Assessment tool
Version 1.0 Issue Date: June 2024
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to research and evaluate vehicle body repair materials, equipment and work processes, and to select those most appropriate for establishing a new body repair facility or updating an existing business. It requires knowledge of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) repair requirements and evolving industry technologies.
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.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
Evidence Required

Elements describe the essential outcomes.
Performance Criteria
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold and italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section.
1. Determine process requirements
1.1 Requirements for body repair facility are identified
1.2 Framework and rating system are developed to facilitate comparisons of materials, equipment and processes
1.3 OEM repair requirements are identified and assessed to establish comparisons and benchmarks to be used
2. Identify specifications for required body repair materials, equipment and work processes
2.1 Repair steps and work processes are identified and flow charts produced
2.2 Material and equipment specifications are identified to match repair processes
2.3 Staff and management are consulted to identify additional or altered requirements
2.4 Materials, tooling and equipment requirements for body work undertaken in facility are identified and specifications are documented
2.5 Work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements for safe facility and work practices are identified
2.6 Required specification data is compiled and documented
3. Evaluate materials, equipment and work processes against facility requirements
3.1 Material options are identified against required quality, finish and conformity to OEM specifications and repair standards, and are documented
3.2 Equipment options are identified and documented
3.3 Materials and equipment are selected based on facility work processes and comparisons of performance, cost and specifications compared to established rating system
3.4 Outcomes are documented and report is prepared
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 and foundation skills:
locate, interpret, evaluate and select materials, equipment and processes suitable for establishing or updating an automotive body repair facility, which must involve consultation with staff
provide a report on above research, which includes an analysis of:
required and available materials and equipment with respect to facility work processes, specifications and standards
innovations applying to required materials and equipment
equipment capabilities and availability
cost-benefit analysis of materials, equipment and processes
impact of selected materials, equipment and processes on the environment and workplace safety.
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
industry sector developments and trends in bodywork repair materials and equipment
workplace policies and plans, including forecast systems and products
body repair processes from original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or authorised agency’s specifications
materials, equipment and processes, including:
personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements
equipment capabilities
costings.
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 vehicle body repair materials, equipment and work processes that they have evaluated, e.g. cost-benefit analysis.
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 or simulated workplace
bodywork technology information
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for evaluating vehicle body repair materials, equipment and work processes.
