Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to apply maintenance engineering and design techniques to determine the repair, modification or replacement requirements of mechanical, fluid and electrical plant, and facilities. It is suitable for people working at a technician level in maintenance-related design drafting or in maintenance-related supervision or management and applies across all engineering disciplines. It should be selected in conjunction with appropriate technical units for the equipment or components being considered for maintenance and includes reviewing condition analysis and non-destructive test (NDT) reports.The conduct of condition analysis and NDT tests is covered by the relevant specialist technical units.Where an organisation or whole of plant maintenance management system is being reviewed or considered for change unit MEM23125 Evaluate maintenance systems should be selected.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
