Assessment Conditions

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations, current at the time of assessment. As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations, current at the time of assessment. Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in 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: Industry Standards relevant industry standards relevant industry product standards AS/NZS 3000 Electrical installations (known as the Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules) Documentation including reporting formats manufacturer technical data site plans system designer documentation relevant to installing the system maintenance checklists and/or testing and commissioning sheet Measuring and testing equipment multimeter insulation resistance tester clamp tester (DC and AC) Plant an existing installed PV array along with the equipment to facilitate the installation of a battery storage system for grid-connected PV systems.
