This unit replaces and is equivalent to UEENEEA104A Modify electronic sub assemblies.

Release 1. This is the first release of this unit of competency in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package.

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

• adhering to quality procedures
• applying relevant work health and safety/occupational health and safety (WHS/OHS) requirements, including using risk control measures
• carrying out functional tests
• checking and isolating circuits
• checking quality of modified sub-assemblies
• completing re-work in acceptable timeframe, environment and workplace conditions
• completing workplace reports/data sheets
• disconnecting and reconnecting components
• determining materials for work
• following job specifications
• inspecting, testing and measuring live work
• modifying sub-assemblies
• preparing to modify sub-assemblies
• rectifying defects
• selecting tools and equipment.

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

• quality management system
• relevant manufacturer specifications and operating instructions
• relevant materials, tools and equipment
• relevant job safety assessments or risk mitigation processes
• relevant WHS/OHS legislated requirements
• relevant workplace documentation
• relevant workplace quality, instructions, policies and procedures.

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in suitable workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated suitable workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

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.

Resources for assessment must include access to:

• a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations
• relevant and appropriate materials, tools, facilities and equipment currently used in industry
• resources that reflect current industry practices in relation to re-working electronic sub-assemblies
• applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, equipment specifications, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.
