Performance Evidence

Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standards defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:

inspect and service the braking systems of two different vehicles or machinery, including:

disc braking systems

drum braking systems.

Knowledge Evidence

Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to inspecting and servicing braking systems, including procedures for:

lifting and supporting vehicles or machinery

managing and controlling brake dust and brake fluids

environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of brake dust and brake fluid released from braking systems

identification and function of major braking components, including:

discs, pads and calipers

drums, brake linings, wheel cylinders and hydraulic components

master cylinder

hydraulic and vacuum brake booster

diesel engine vacuum brake booster pump

electric and manual park braking systems

basic operation of braking systems, including:

hydraulic braking systems

mechanical braking systems

air over hydraulic systems

air braking systems

types, applications and testing of brake hydraulic fluids

inspection procedures for braking system components, including:

component wear analysis

brake fluid testing

service and adjustment procedures for braking systems, including:

brake bleeding

brake adjustment

park brake adjustment

post-service testing procedures for braking systems, including static and dynamic testing.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.

Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the braking systems that they have worked on, e.g. repair orders.

Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.

The following resources must be made available:

automotive repair workplace or simulated workplace

workplace instructions

manufacturer braking system specifications

two different vehicles or machinery with disc and drum braking systems requiring servicing

tools, equipment and materials appropriate for inspecting and servicing braking systems.
