Replace watch batteries

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit applies to the selection and replacement of digital/analogue watch power cells whilst operating in a jewellery/watch workshop environment with access to the appropriate equipment.
Some knowledge of watch glasses and seals is required, however specific replacement functions for these are not covered by this unit. Testing functions relate only to the measurement of voltage, consumption and resistance.
This competency does not apply to diver and other water-resistant watch types. Water resistance and pressure testing is not covered by this unit, however identification of watches requiring testing as well as procedures for arranging testing are a requirement of this unit.
Where power cell replacements in these two categories are of common practice with associated testing, and/or identification/cleaning/supply/fitting of waterproofing/water resistance components, the appropriate horological units should be selected.
Band: A

Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to replace digital/analogue watch power cells. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate. This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with battery replacement or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit. |
Method of assessment | Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials. |

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.
Required skills |
Look for evidence that confirms skills in: handling case, movement and other watch parts cleaning case and watch parts opening/closing watch cases inspecting for obvious damage/wear and/or moisture intrusion. inserting and removing batteries interpreting charts and information sheets measuring voltage/ resistance/consumption reading and interpreting routine information on written job instructions, specifications and standard operating procedures. May include drawings |
Required knowledge |
Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of: applicable horological terminology design of case types and their functions types of batteries/power cells and their functions battery cell construction cases including water resistant, dustproof and diver's analog, digital, multi-function and mechanical watch functions wear and the possible effects on glass and adjustors the watch-specific tools and equipment manufacturers' information/specifications/procedures location and cause of moisture and corrosion effects handling/cleaning/adjustment procedures OH&S issues for mercury and lithium batteries appropriate symbols and other identifying relevant standards information and their location relevant internal and/or external water resistance and pressure testing bodies/personnel arrangements/procedures for dispatch and receipt of watches battery features and identification codes parts associated with power cell function location and cause of moisture and corrosion effects watch functions procedures to confirm power cell status |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
Tools and equipment | All hand and power tools appropriate to construction and repair of jewellery items and personal protective equipment |
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.
