Description
This unit describes the application of the required skills and knowledge to calibrate mechanical/electrical/gas measuring equipment utilised in Automotive Development.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Prepare calibration equipment for testing
- 1.1. Applicable organisational requirements relevant to the calibration of measuring equipment in automotive development are verified and complied with throughout the work activity
- 1.2. Instructions, plans and/or workplace check sheets are read and interpreted to identify processes and materials to complete work tasks
- 1.3. Calibration equipment is checked for functional operation
- 1.4. Appropriate checks are made of components, leads, fasteners etc for wear, loose connections or other faults
- 1.5. The testing sequence and specified procedures for the tests are determined in accordance with relevant national and international standards and procedures and manufacturers' instructions
- 1.6. The required certified standards are assembled, checked for currency and readied for the calibration process
2. Calibrate equipment
- 2.1. Calibration equipment is operated with recognised standard and readings recorded
- 2.2. Calibration equipment is adjusted in accordance with instructions to adjust reading to standard being measured
- 2.3. Calibration equipment is re-tested to validate adjusted reading
3. Complete work processes
- 3.1. Calibration equipment is re-tagged with currency and standard of calibration
- 3.2. Evidence of wear, unserviceability, malfunction or out-of-tolerance adjustments detected is reported, and any necessary action taken
- 3.3. Documentation including logs and reports are updated and recorded in accordance with instructions
- 3.4. Standards are returned to storage/ready-use position
- 3.5. Equipment and tools are cleaned, inspected for serviceable condition and stored at the completion of the process in accordance with organisational procedures
- 3.6. Work area is cleaned and restored in accordance with organisational procedures

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the following is essential:
compliance with relevant legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and organisation policies and procedures for calibration of automotive calibration measuring equipment
working and communicating effectively and positively with others involved in the work
applying, within authority, the requirements of the job or work role in relation to:
preparing for calibration
performing calibration
use of calibration standards
preparing reports of results
achieving work quality goals
completing work area housekeeping requirements including the documentation of project activity and process outcomes.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
assessment of the competency should take place in a safe working environment in a passenger motor vehicle manufacturing plant or simulated environment using tools/equipment/machinery required for the production process without undue disruption to the production process
assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of organisation relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge
assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application
assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process
assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.
