What an assessment for MEM05077 must cover

55 assessable components: 5 elements (23 performance criteria), 9 performance evidence and 23 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 Determine scope of required welding inspection

1.1Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs)
1.2Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements
1.3Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs
1.4Identify welding inspection requirements from specifications, drawings, job sheets or work instructions

2 Confirm materials are to specification

2.1Check markings and other manufacturers information against specifications
2.2Select appropriate non-destructive tests and organise and/or conduct in accordance with SOPs or job specifications
2.3Check if results of previous testing procedures are available and verify results as relevant to required welding inspection
2.4Confirm suitability of materials for required welding

3 Review and validate welding procedure

3.1Interpret joint design specification and review welding parameters
3.2Review WPS and other document procedures
3.3Organise preparation of production test piece or sample material
3.4Arrange relevant destructive or non-destructive tests
3.5Interpret test results and prepare report identifying required action

4 Ensure quality assurance procedures are carried out and confirm compliance

4.1Check documentation for evidence of welder qualification against WPS
4.2Check material identification is correct
4.3Document movement of material through workshop site
4.4Witness transferring material test certification numbers
4.5Perform identification of consumables in accordance with welding procedures
4.6Monitor storage and use of consumables and confirm compliance
4.7Maintain and review welding inspection records to ensure traceability and compliance with requirements

5 Check fabrication for compliance with specifications

5.1Check material forming against job requirements
5.2Carry out dimensional checks against specifications
5.3Make final inspection against specifications

Performance evidence

follow work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices
review welding requirements for at least two welding projects and determine the scope of welding inspection required
organise appropriate destructive and non-destructive tests or verify results of previous test procedures
identify and validate welding procedures by interpreting joint design specification, organising test pieces, sample plates and pipe, interpreting the results and preparing a report identifying any required actions
ensure quality assurance procedures are carried out, including checking identification (material test certification numbers), and documenting movement of material through workshop or site
check materials can be traced to their source and a traceability register is being maintained
carry out final inspection of fabrications, including material forming and dimensional checks against specifications
maintain and review welding inspection records to ensure compliance on at least two occasions.
Note: Where a volume and/or frequency is not specified, demonstration must be provided at least once.

Knowledge evidence

safe welding practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
welding terminology and symbols
non-destructive testing methods associated with welding and their application
arithmetic operations, formulae and calculations required for testing welding/fabrications
procedures for: initiating the weld tests and obtaining previous weld tests
procedures for: verifying/amending previously established weld test procedures
procedures for: documenting welding procedures and preparing weld test pieces
procedures for: documenting/recording the movement of material through the workshop and reasons why this is necessary
procedures for: transferring material test certification numbers
procedures for: identifying consumables and reasons for marking consumables for identification purposes
procedures for: using and storing consumables and the consequences of inappropriate use and/or storage of consumables
procedures for: maintaining welding quality records
reasons for any identified discrepancies between previous and current weld tests
effects of testing procedures on test results
parameters and variables affecting the performance of the weld with respect to specifications
weld discontinuities and relationship to weld quality
tools, equipment, techniques and procedures necessary to check each variable, form and dimensions of the welded components
tools, equipment, techniques and procedures to initiate, carry out, obtain and report the prescribed tests results
discrepancies between the test results and weld specifications and remedial action to be taken to return welds produced to specification
reasons and methods for correctly marking/identifying weld materials
person(s) who can witness the transfer of material test certification numbers and reasons why this is important
storage life of consumables
welding quality requirements of the relevant code, standard and/or welding procedure.

Questions about assessing MEM05077

What does an assessment tool for MEM05077 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM05077 needs to address all 55 unit components: 5 elements with 23 performance criteria, 9 performance evidence requirements, 23 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 MEM05077?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM05077 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 MEM05077 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM05077 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 MEM05077, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
