Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Identify test/trial objectives |
1.1. Applicable organisation requirements 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 |
