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

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions on at least two separate occasions and include:
# applying work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) workplace procedures, including: # identifying and assessing hazards and risks, and implementing control measures # checking circuits are isolated in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements # determining the operating parameters of existing lighting circuits and equipment modifying existing lighting circuits and their controls to comply with specified operating parameters, including drawing and connecting lighting circuits that incorporate: one-way two-way # intermediate switching of light points using the loop at the light/switch methods of thermoplastic sheathed (TPS) wiring # developing lighting circuits and equipment to comply with a specified function and operating parameters # determining the cause of low illuminance level in existing lighting circuits and equipment determining conditions causing existing lighting circuits and equipment to be unsafe # connecting lighting equipment and controls # identifying faulty components in luminaires and auxiliary/control equipment from test results # testing luminaires and auxiliary/control equipment for serviceability ensuring all work complies with relevant Australian Standards and legislation completing work and documenting activities.

Knowledge Evidence

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

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. Assessors must also hold the occupational licence for the jurisdiction the assessment is occurring where the activity being assessed requires a licence to practice. 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 suitable simulated 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 other simulations relevant and appropriate materials, tools, facilities, equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) currently used in industry applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, equipment specifications, regulations, relevant industry standards, codes of practice and operation manuals. In addition, evidence of Performance Evidence items of this unit marked with a hash (#) must be gathered in authentic workplace operational conditions (not simulated) before final determination of competence in this unit can be made.
