Application

This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to assemble and install equipment and ancillaries/accessories.

Work is undertaken using new external and internal locations and sites and foundations, footings, beds and framework are completed prior to installation practices.

It does not cover installation requiring substantial modification to the existing site or where components are replaced by the same or similar type.

Where production-related assembly work is undertaken unit MEM03002 Perform precision assembly should also be selected.

Where installation requires substantial modification to the existing site, and is being replaced by the same or similar type unit MEM10006 Install machine/plant should also be selected.

Where load shifting equipment is required to be used unit MEM11010 Operate mobile load shifting equipment should also be selected.

Where positions are determined, alignments are undertaken and testing within manufacturer specifications is required unit MEM25012 Install and test operations of marine auxiliary systems should also be selected.

This unit should not be selected if unit MEM03002 Perform precision assembly has already been selected.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

What You'll Learn

Assessment Requirements

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least two (2) occasions and include:

following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices

identifying and interpreting specifications, plans, drawings, charts, lists and other applicable reference documents to assemble and install equipment and accessories/ancillaries

checking site and taking dimensions and measurements and performing alterations and corrections with approval of appropriate authority

preparing surfaces, materials and components for use and checking components against specifications for compliance

preparing machine/equipment components for correct sequential installation

undertaking numerical operations and calculations associated with assembling and installing equipment and accessories/ancillaries

installing machine/plant or equipment and performing modifications/alterations as required in accordance with manufacturer and site specifications

levelling, aligning, connecting and coupling machine/equipment to specifications and packing/sealing through-hull fittings, as required.

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate the required knowledge for this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)

appropriate levelling and measuring equipment and benefits of choice

procedural standards, legislative requirements and non-compliance, and the impact of such

preparatory requirements and processes

sequence of installation of parts and installation procedures

reasons for modifications/alterations and impact of modifications/alterations

procedures for levelling and aligning and impacts of misalignment

cleaning procedures.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must:

have vocational competency in assembling and installing equipment and accessories/ancillaries at least to the level being assessed with relevant industry knowledge and experience

satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 or its replacement and comply with the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011, its replacement or equivalent legislation covering VET regulation in a non-referring state/territory as the case requires

Where possible assessment must occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment that reflects realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills

Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
