What an assessment for MEM18114 must cover

44 assessable components: 5 elements (15 performance criteria), 7 performance evidence and 22 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 job requirements

1.1Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs)
1.2Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times
1.3Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs
1.4Identify job requirements from specifications

2 Prepare inspection areas ready for basic radiographic testing

2.1Clean radiographic specimens and prepare for testing using appropriate procedures and materials
2.2Carry out preparation processes in accordance with the relevant procedures
2.3Assess inspection areas visually and identify obvious discontinuities

3 Set up radiographic test equipment

3.1Identify nominated test from SOPs
3.2Set up radiation testing and processing equipment in accordance with manufacturers’ specifications

4 Carry out basic radiographic tests

4.1Apply safety practices and controls for minimising radiation exposure to self and others
4.2Operate radiographic testing and safety equipment in accordance with relevant work instructions
4.3Process films to achieve optimum results
4.4Maintain radiographic testing equipment and store in accordance with regulations and SOPs

5 Report the results of basic radiographic tests

5.1Check and confirm basic indications and identify defects in accordance with organisational standards and/or procedures
5.2Report test results in accordance with organisational standards and/or procedures

Performance evidence

following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices
identifying and interpreting specifications, relative testing and conformance standards for performing basic radiographic testing
preparing the area for testing and identifying discontinuities including observed changes in material homogeneity and in accordance with procedures
applying safety practices and controls for minimising radiation exposure including effectively designing exposure and storage areas and calculating shielding thickness in accordance with procedures
carrying out basic radiographic testing using techniques and equipment appropriate for material/s to be tested, calculating and producing optimum quality radiographs on at least two occasions
producing films to achieve optimum results and documenting and reporting test results in accordance with procedures and customer service requirements on at least two occasions.
Note: Where a volume and/or frequency is not specified, demonstration must be provided at least once.

Questions about assessing MEM18114

What does an assessment tool for MEM18114 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM18114 needs to address all 44 unit components: 5 elements with 15 performance criteria, 7 performance evidence requirements, 22 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 MEM18114?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM18114 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 MEM18114 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM18114 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 MEM18114, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
