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 modify control systems. 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 modification of control systems 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:

obtaining, reading, interpreting and following information on written job instructions, specifications, standard operating procedures, charts, lists, drawings and other applicable reference documents

obtaining necessary approvals

checking system components against specification

calibrating and checking test equipment to be used

energising and checking the components and/or the control loop/system for correct supply

checking and clarifying task-related information

adjusting control loop/system components

conducting appropriate measurements/tests

carrying out authorised modifications to the control system and/or process components

checking for conformance to specifications

completing reports and documentation on commissioning activity

undertaking numerical operations, geometry and calculations/formulae within the scope of this unit

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of:

work to be undertaken

control system format

operational intent of the processes being controlled by the control system

specifications of the control system and the processes being controlled

regulatory and legislative requirements associated with the commissioning procedure

procedures for commissioning the control system

procedures to ensure that control characteristics, application and process specifications are achieved

components of the operational processes

installation specifications for each component of the operational processes

measuring techniques and equipment appropriate to the measurements to be taken

test equipment and techniques appropriate to the commissioning of the control

calibration procedures for the selected test equipment

procedures for energising components and/or the control loop/system

supply requirements of components and the control loop/system

recording requirements for readings/measurements taken

adjustments that can be made to the control loop/system components

effects of adjustments on the control characteristics and operational processes

measurements/tests to be undertaken to verify control system and process operation

reasons for selecting the chosen measurements/tests

procedures to be followed if the operational specifications of the control system and/or process cannot be achieved

effect of changes to control system components on system performance

appropriate authority to approve any modifications

reporting requirements associated with the commissioning of control systems

requirements for recording modifications

reasons for recording modifications

hazard and control measures associated with modifying control systems, including housekeeping

safe work practices and procedures

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.

Commissioning

Commissioning involves the development of a commissioning procedure, testing of operation and adjustment to conform to specification

Control system

Control systems can mean closed or open loop on continuous or step process control systems. Loop/system control can incorporate the use of pneumatics, electrical, electronics, hydraulics or a combination

System components

Control loop/system components incorporate all instruments and devices which make up or control a loop/system, including sensing devices, control devices, actuators and transducers

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.
