Release 1 |
New unit of competency. |
Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to determine material suitability for constructing competition vehicle components. It involves determining component performance specifications, researching component operating environments, establishing material specifications for the components, and testing material suitability. It involves producing new components from a design as well as producing existing components from new material.
It applies to those working in the motor sport industry.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Elements and Performance Criteria
Elements Elements describe the essential outcomes. |
Performance Criteria Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold and italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section. |
1. Establish component performance specifications |
1.1 Component specifications are determined from performance specifications 1.2 Component operating environment is established 1.3 Component operating function is confirmed 1.4 Component performance specifications are prepared |
2. Establish material performance specifications |
2.1 Material operating function is confirmed 2.2 Criteria to be used in selection of material and in evaluation of outcomes are identified and documented 2.3 Specifications for material are accessed and interpreted 2.4 Legal and safety impacts of material chosen are considered and responded to according to regulatory and team obligations and practices 2.5 Material performance specifications are prepared and documented to industry and team standards |
3. Test material suitability against material performance specifications |
3.1 Material capable of undertaking the required operating function is identified 3.2 Proposed material is selected following identification, consideration and evaluation of full range of available and relevant options 3.3 Material is selected or constructed to component specifications, according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures and safety requirements 3.4 Selected option, including material choices and processes, is developed in detail and progressively validated against established criteria 3.5 Test material is tested against material performance specifications 3.6 Causes of material failure are identified as required 3.7 Testing procedures and results are documented, including recommendations for material use |
4. Test component suitability against component performance specifications |
4.1 Component test procedures are determined 4.2 Component is tested against component performance specifications according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements 4.3 Testing procedures and results are documented, including recommendations for component use |
