Description
This unit describes the application of the required skills and knowledge to design and establish a test/trial of a component of plant, tooling, equipment, product or system in accordance with an industry standard test.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Identify test/trial objectives
- 1.1. Applicable organisationrequirements relevant in establishing the testing/trialling of components of plant, tooling, equipment, product or systems are verified and complied with throughout the work activity
- 1.2. Instructions and plans are read and interpreted to identify processes and materials to complete work tasks
- 1.3. Materials/components/parts required to be tested are received in accordance with organisational inventory procedures
- 1.4. The test/trial objectives are identified in consultation with development engineers or other relevant stakeholders
2. Determine the test/trial methodology
- 2.1. The testing/trialling sequence and specified procedures for the tests/trials are determined in accordance with the test objectives, national or international standards, organisational procedures and manufacturers' instructions
- 2.2. The required test/trial equipment and tools are identified and accessed/obtained in accordance with work plans and organisational procedures
- 2.3. Stakeholders are identified and consulted
3. Identify and allocate resources
- 3.1. Resources required to test/trial the component are identified
- 3.2. Personnel are tasked to undertake the setup and conduct of the test/trial
- 3.3. A test/trial plan is prepared in accordance with organisational requirements and in agreeance with the relevant stakeholders
4. Determine and establish the reporting regime
- 4.1. The data elements required to be reported on and the frequency of reports are determined in consultation with the tasking development engineers
- 4.2. The report(s) structure(s) is/are identified in conjunction with the tasking development engineers
- 4.3. Reporting regime is incorporated into the test/trial plan
- 4.4. Reporting regime is trialled to ensure practicality and credibility of report format, data and frequency.
5. Monitor the test/trial
- 5.1. Conduct is monitored in accordance with the test/trial plan
- 5.2. Guidance is provided to personnel conducting the trial as required
- 5.3. Modifications to the plan are proposed to the stakeholders where required and endorsed changes implemented
6. Complete the work processes
- 6.1. Reports are distributed as required in the plan and organisational procedures
- 6.2. Test/trial procedures are documented and recorded in accordance with organisational recordkeeping procedures
- 6.3. Resources are recycled or written off 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 establishing a test for components/materials of plant, equipment, product, or systems
maintaining a working knowledge of current organisation inventory procedures
working and communicating effectively and positively with others involved in the work
applying, within authority, the requirements of the job or work role which could include:
establishing tests or trials
monitoring tests or trials
oversighting of reports of results
achieving work quality goals
accurate completion of test/trial procedures
completing work area housekeeping requirements including the documentation of project activity and process outcomes
modify activities to cater for variations in organisation context and environment.
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.
