Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Ensure conformity of international design to Australian standards
   • Assess original international design to verify compliance with relevant Australian legislation, codes, regulations and standards
   • Reconfigure international design in consultation with customer
   • Rewrite design specifications to include configuration amendments
2. Plan and establish test regime
   • Plan type and number of tests to ensure full trial of new or enhanced design and greatest coverage for minimal tests
   • Plan and establish test environment to ensure total validity of chosen tests
   • Design test regime of proposed system to test impact on existing systems
   • Confirm test regime in consultation with planners and verify test equipment meets required standards
3. Undertake tests
   • Conduct and document tests including live system tests in logical and sequential order to planned test regime
   • Negotiate problems experienced during tests with system experts or designers to plan contingency activity according to enterprise policy
   • Prepare and submit trouble reports according to enterprise policy
4. Analyse test results
   • Analyse test results against design specifications and planned outcomes
   • Prepare a report referring major deficiencies to designers with recommendations for design change
   • Analyse minor variances, plan solutions and document changes to specifications
5. Retest design changes
   • Implement design and specification changes and conduct further tests as required
   • Analyse test results to verify compliance with updated design specifications
   • Document results of tests according to enterprise policy

Performance Evidence

Evidence of ability to:

apply Australian standards to international designs

identify customer's specific requirements

configure and set up test regimes

identify and conduct tests, including live system tests, and interpret and analyse results

approach problem diagnosis systematically, eliminating causes

re-test design changes

prepare report, including deficiencies, analysis and recommendations.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
