What an assessment for CPPFES2049 must cover

41 assessable components: 5 elements (28 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 12 knowledge evidence requirements. 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 Plan and prepare for ODS and SGG recovery.

  • 1.1Read work instructions to clarify types and processing requirements of ODS and SGG extinguishing agents and containers.

  • 1.4Select and use required tools and equipment, including personal protective equipment (PPE).
  • 1.5Identify and prepare to control hazards in the work area according to workplace requirements.

2 Prepare processing equipment for operation.

  • 2.1Set up processing equipment according to manufacturer requirements.
  • 2.2Pressurise processing equipment and check to ensure line holds pressure.
  • 2.3Perform leak detection test on processing equipment and connections.
  • 2.4Replace or recycle connections, filters and hoses as required before commencing processing.
  • 2.5Check equipment set-up for correct operation and rectify or report defects according to workplace requirements.

3 Recover and reclaim ODS and SGG materials.

  • 3.1Identify types of ODS or SGG containers, valves, labels and transport caps, and select suitable method of recovery according to regulatory and workplace requirements.
  • 3.2Weigh containers and record mass before processing.
  • 3.3Check and confirm container connections to processing equipment.
  • 3.4Operate and monitor processing equipment and complete recovery processing according to manufacturer and workplace requirements.
  • 3.5Perform quality control analysis of recovered material, confirm acceptable results and activate reclamation processing equipment according to manufacturer and workplace requirements.
  • 3.6Monitor equipment operation and complete reclamation processing according to manufacturer and workplace requirements.
  • 3.7Weigh containers and record mass after processing.

4 Prepare container and assemble valve.

  • 4.1Select and gather containers and valve components to suit ODS or SGG extinguishing agent.
  • 4.2Assemble valve components and connect assembled valve to container.
  • 4.3Check containers and labels for fill processing to confirm accuracy.

5 Fill container and complete documentation.

  • 5.1Check and confirm container connection to processing equipment according to manufacturer requirements.
  • 5.2Operate and monitor processing equipment and complete fill process according to manufacturer and workplace requirements.
  • 5.3Weigh container to verify fill processing and record container mass.
  • 5.4Pressurise system container to standard for type of agent and container.
  • 5.5Evacuate transfer equipment lines.
  • 5.6Remove container from processing equipment, test for leaks and rectify or report defects according to regulatory and workplace requirements.
  • 5.7Prepare container for service and pack filled container according to regulatory and workplace requirements.
  • 5.8Complete service documentation detailing recovery, reclaim and fill results according to regulatory and workplace requirements.

Performance evidence

  • To demonstrate competency, a candidate must meet the elements and performance criteria of this unit by conducting recovery, reclaim and fill operations for scheduled gaseous fire-extinguishing agents on two different occasions.

Knowledge evidence

  • action to take when a breach of work health and safety (WHS), ozone depleting substances (ODS) and synthetic greenhouse gases (SGG) regulation or other policy occurs when conducting recovery, reclaim and fill operations for scheduled gaseous fire-extinguishing agents
  • documentation used during recovery, reclamation and fill processing of ODS and SGG containers
  • fill density requirements for different agents per unit of volume of container
  • implications of ignoring safety precautions used in recovery, reclamation and fill processing
  • key features of legislation, regulations, Australian Standards and licensing relevant to recovery, reclaim and fill operations for scheduled gaseous fire-extinguishing agents: environmental protection, ODS and SGG emission requirements; extinguishing agent handling licence (EAHL) requirements; records and documentation; storing, recovering, recycling and charging scheduled ODS and SGG agents
  • manual-handling techniques and aids to move gaseous fire-extinguishing agent containers
  • maximum working pressure and water capacity of containers to determine container fill requirements
  • methods for: leak detection testing; selecting correct valve and components to suit container and agent requirements; recovering and reclaiming ODS and SGG materials from containers
  • reasons and methods for preventing ODS and SGG emissions in the workplace
  • types of: containers used for ODS and SGG materials; materials found in ODS and SGG containers; sealants suitable for different gaseous agents; transport caps, labels, numbers and codes used on containers containing ODS and SGG materials
  • types and purpose of tools and equipment used when recovering and reclaiming ODS and SGG extinguishing agents and filling containers: leak detection devices; manual-handling aids; processing and pressurising equipment; personal protective equipment (PPE); scales
  • workplace requirements for conducting recovery, reclaim and fill operations for scheduled gaseous fire-extinguishing agents: maintenance of tools and equipment; WHS, including hazard and risk identification and control.

Questions about assessing CPPFES2049

What does an assessment tool for CPPFES2049 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPPFES2049 needs to address all 41 unit components: 5 elements with 28 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 12 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 CPPFES2049?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPPFES2049 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 CPPFES2049 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPPFES2049 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 CPPFES2049, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
