Issue Date: May 2024


This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to work under laboratory conditions, perform calibration of equipment and write reports on the results. It applies to the use of a range of sophisticated equipment that provides independent feedback on quality processes and procedures.

Calibration refers to those calibrations which are conducted to a specified standard using equipment available in the workplace/laboratory. It can include the testing of known standard samples.

This unit would be taken in conjunction with appropriate technical units.

Where interpretation of technical drawings is required unit MEM09002 Interpret technical drawing should also be selected.

Where the selection and use of engineering measurement is required unit MEM12023 Perform engineering measurements should also be selected.

Where the selection and use of tools is required unit MEM18001 Use hand tools and unit MEM18002 Use power tools/hand held operations, should also be selected as appropriate.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Band: B

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Tests will be conducted to a standard and include one (1) or more of the following:

mechanical tests including for hardness, tensile and impact

electrical tests including for resistance, capacitance and inductance

semiconductor or other electronic tests

Test equipment includes one (1) or more of the following:

mechanical

electrical

electronic

some combination

Documentary evidence includes one (1) or more of the following:

identification of equipment

frequency of re-calibration

calibration status

procedures for:

recall

handling and storage

adjustment

repair

calibration

installation and use

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
