• 2.3Adjust device under test to bring readings within specification of calibration and record data (as-left or after adjustment)
• 2.4Analyse test data for trends or inconsistencies that would significantly affect the accuracy or validity of test results
• 2.5Repeat calibration if measurement has been compromised
• 2.6Seek appropriate advice when interpretation of results is outside authorised scope of approval

3 Document results

• 3.1Estimate and document uncertainty of measurement in accordance with workplace procedures

What does an assessment tool for MSL904003 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MSL904003 needs to address all 35 unit components: 4 elements with 20 performance criteria, 2 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 MSL904003?

Auditori pulls the current release of MSL904003 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 MSL904003 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MSL904003 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 MSL904003, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
