Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Gather information on electrical componentry in motor vehicles |
1.1. Customer requirements are checked following workplace procedures 1.2. Work instructions are used to determine job requirements, including method, material and equipment 1.3. WHS requirements, including handling of broken glass, dust and fume collection, breathing apparatus and eye and ear personal protection needs are observed throughout the work 1.4. Tooling and equipment are checked prior to use, for conformity with specifications and safe use 1.5. Condition of system is determined by visual, aural and tactile inspections and measurements 1.6. Conditions found are compared with electrical componentry in motor vehicles system specifications and customer use requirements 1.7. Correct information is accessed and interpreted from manufacturer/component supplier specifications |
2. Plan operations where electrical components are incidental to a body repair activity |
2.1. Planned operation sequence and availability of tooling and equipment is determined 2.2. Planned operation sequence includes post-service testing and checking procedure 2.3. Material list is prepared and availability determined 2.4. Tooling and equipment are selected to meet job requirements 2.5. Tooling and equipment are regularly checked to ensure they are in good working order 2.6. Tooling and equipment are handled in accordance with WHS requirements 2.7. Daily maintenance of tooling is performed as specified by enterprise |
3. Remove electrical/ electronic operated components |
3.1. Removal or relocation of electrically operated componentry is completed without causing damage to component or system 3.2. Correct information is accessed and interpreted from manufacturer/component supplier specifications 3.3. Electrically operated components are removed using approved methods, tooling and equipment 3.4. Removal activities are carried out according to industry regulations/guidelines, WHS, legislation and enterprise procedures/policies |
4. Refit and/or test electrically operated componentry involved in body repair activities |
4.1. Customer requirements and electrical componentry specifications are checked following incidental body repair activities 4.2. Electrically operated units/components are refitted using approved methods, tooling and equipment 4.3. Electrically operated componentry is operated through its full range after a body repair activity, noting test results, including non-conformity 4.4. Electrically operated componentry and adjustments are checked and prepared for delivery after a body repair activity 4.5. Portable tooling and equipment are stored in approved designated areas 4.6.
