What an assessment for MEM27009 must cover
55 assessable components: 3 elements (19 performance criteria), 12 performance evidence and 24 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, drawings, job sheets or work instructions
2 Check and assess braking system
- 2.1Identify braking system types, components and arrangements, including anti-lock systems
- 2.2Apply knowledge of friction and heat principles and component functions to check and assess braking system operation
- 2.3Assess braking system, including control devices, for compliance with relevant specifications, regulations and standards
- 2.4Assess serviceability of friction materials, discs and drums
- 2.5Assess braking system communication and control modules and bus connections for correct operation and compliance with specifications
- 2.6Measure and record minimum operating dimensions and determine corrective action
- 2.7Diagnose faults to component level and determine appropriate corrective action
3 Rectify and overhaul braking system components
- 3.1Interpret characteristics of surface finishes and wear patterns associated with braking components
- 3.2Interpret measurements and part condition when determining reuse/replacement
- 3.3Remove braking system components and disassemble
- 3.4Clean components using appropriate fluid and procedure
- 3.5Adjust friction material to reaction member clearance to specification
- 3.6Ensure system is free of leaks/restrictions after repair work
- 3.7Adjust all levers, linkages and pedal clearances to specifications
- 3.8Recommission and test braking system according to manufacturer recommendations or appropriate standard/regulation
Performance evidence
- following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices, including brake dust, fibre and fluid control and protection procedures
- identifying and interpreting specifications, charts, lists, drawings and service documents to diagnose and rectify braking systems
- checking braking system for conformance to specifications and for compliance with relevant regulations
- checking friction materials and identifying as being serviceable or to be replaced
- undertaking calculations and numerical operations for diagnosing and rectifying braking systems
- measuring and recording brake operating dimensions and identifying variations of brake operating measurement from specifications
- checking operation of braking system for compliance to specifications and identifying faulty components for replacement
- checking braking system interaction with equipment control and recording systems and components
- removing, dismantling, handling and replacing braking system components safely

Questions about assessing MEM27009
What does an assessment tool for MEM27009 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM27009 needs to address all 55 unit components: 3 elements with 19 performance criteria, 12 performance evidence requirements, 24 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 MEM27009?
Auditori pulls the current release of MEM27009 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 MEM27009 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing MEM27009 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 MEM27009, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
