Application
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to undertake commissioning work on internally or externally located plant and/or equipment that is new, or replaced, or has been extensively modified (by people usually outside of the commissioning individual or team).
Where reports are required to be completed see unit MEM16010 Write reports.
Where additional specialist applications are required in undertaking commissioning procedures e.g. fluid power, instrumentation and programmable logic controller (PLC), see appropriate units.
This unit is not intended to be used by maintenance personnel completing their own work, including return to service work, as these activities are covered in the following units:
MEM09011 Apply basic engineering design concepts
MEM18004 Maintain and overhaul mechanical equipment
MEM18006 Perform precision fitting of engineering components
MEM18054 Fault find, test and calibrate instrumentation systems and equipment
Some jurisdictions may require the holder of this unit using the refrigeration and air conditioning pathways to be licensed or certified and users should check with the relevant authorities.
