What an assessment for AURETU102 must cover

31 assessable components: 3 elements (12 performance criteria), 2 performance evidence and 11 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 6 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Prepare to recover refrigerant

1.1Identify job requirements from workplace instructions
1.2Obtain and interpret refrigerant recovery information, including Australian automotive code of practice
1.3Identify hazards and environmental issues, assess potential risks and implement control measures in line with workplace policies and procedures
1.4Identify vehicle air conditioning system, components and refrigerant service ports for refrigerant recovery
1.5Identify equipment, personal protective equipment (PPE) and firefighting equipment for refrigerant recovery and establish serviceability according to workplace procedures

2 Operate recovery equipment

2.1Identify vehicle refrigerant with a refrigerant identifier or analyser
2.2Weigh recovery cylinder and record available capacity and tare weight of cylinder
2.3Connect recovery equipment to vehicle according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, workplace health and safety and environmental requirements
2.4Recover refrigerant and transfer into designated recovery cylinder using recovery equipment according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, and workplace health safety and environmental requirements

3 Complete work processes

3.1Record quantity and details of recovered refrigerant according to workplace procedures and regulatory requirements
3.2Clear work area according to workplace procedures
3.3Complete Australian Refrigeration Council accredited (ARCtick) service decal sticker and workplace documentation according to workplace procedures

Performance evidence

recover and identify vehicle refrigerants from three different vehicles or machinery, in which the work must involve one of the following refrigerant types: synthetic greenhouse and ozone depleting (SGOD) refrigerant; hydrocarbon (HC) refrigerant; hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant; a mixture of SGOD and HC refrigerant.
In the course of the above work, the candidate must use the following equipment: refrigerant hose and coupler; refrigerant recovery unit; refrigerant scales; refrigerant identifier or analyser; designated and appropriately labelled recovery cylinders.

Knowledge evidence

methods to locate and interpret information required to recover vehicle refrigerants, including: Australian automotive code of practice: Control of refrigerant gases during manufacture, installation, servicing or de-commissioning of motor vehicle air conditioners
workplace procedures required to recover vehicle refrigerants, including: recovering vehicles and refrigerants; establishing the serviceability of tools and equipment; documentation procedures; housekeeping procedures, including: examination of tools and equipment; storage of equipment; safe shut down and disconnecting recovery equipment; safe storage of refrigerant; identification, tagging and isolation of faulty equipment; safe disposal of materials; recycling procedures
workplace health and safety (WHS) requirements relating to safety requirements for recovering vehicle refrigerants, including procedures for: managing risk of frostbite while working with refrigerants at boiling point; working with system lubricants, including carcinogenic oils; handling flammable refrigerants; selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE); identifying firefighting equipment

handling, storing and transporting refrigerant cylinders and recovery cylinders, including: pressure ratings; pressure relief devices; outlet connection type
environmental requirements associated with refrigerant recovery and refrigerant waste disposal, including procedures for: preventing loss of refrigerant to the atmosphere; storing and transporting refrigerants
key features of various types of refrigerants and oils found in automotive vehicle and equipment HVAC systems, including: synthetic SGOD refrigerants, such as: chlorofluorocarbons (CFC); hydrofluorocarbons (HFC); HC refrigerants; mineral and synthetic refrigerant oils
key features of refrigerant recovery equipment, including: manifold and gauge set; recovery unit; types of recovery cylinders; refrigerant analyser; vacuum recovery equipment and scales
procedures for recovering automotive refrigerant, including: testing refrigerant to determine its type; connecting manifold and gauge set and recovery unit, including types and location of service ports; identifying recovery cylinder suitable to the refrigerant; operating recovery unit, including weighing recovery cylinder before and after recovery; disconnecting and storing recovery unit and cylinder
work completion procedures for recovering vehicle refrigerant, including: work area clean-up and maintenance requirements; workplace regulatory documentation to be completed
procedures for completing ARCtick decal sticker, including: name of service organisation; ARCtick business authority number; quantity of refrigerant added; refrigerant and oil type; service date; technician name and licence number.

Foundation skills

Questions about assessing AURETU102

What does an assessment tool for AURETU102 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AURETU102 needs to address all 31 unit components: 3 elements with 12 performance criteria, 2 performance evidence requirements, 11 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for AURETU102?

Auditori pulls the current release of AURETU102 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for AURETU102 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AURETU102 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of AURETU102, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
