MSL905004 — Perform non-standard calibrations

1 Select the appropriate calibration procedure

• 1.1Identify non-conforming calibration tasks and requests and analyse their significance
• 1.2Review the authorised procedure and establish whether it is appropriate for the test, as required
• 1.3Research an alternative or adapt an existing procedure to satisfy the test specification requirements
• 1.4Confirm that available resources meet all the requirements of the calibration procedure
• 1.5Obtain authorisation prior to substituting equipment, changing or deviating from the specified procedure
• 1.6Document and validate any authorised changes or deviations in accordance with workplace procedures

2 Prepare items for calibration

• 2.1Identify hazards and use the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), safety equipment and procedures
• 2.2Assemble and set up reference standards and associated equipment prior to testing
• 2.3Verify performance of reference standards and measuring equipment prior to use and adjust or calibrate as necessary
• 2.4Identify and minimise potential sources of measurement error

3 Perform calibration

• 3.1Perform individual tests and document each step in the calibration procedure to ensure repeatability of measurement
• 3.2Critically analyse readings to confirm they are the result of a valid measurement and record data as required (as-found or before adjustment)
• 3.3Adjust device under test to bring readings within tolerance and record results (as-left or after adjustment) if required
• 3.4Analyse resulting test data to detect trends or inconsistencies that would significantly affect the accuracy or validity of test results
• 3.5Seek appropriate advice when result interpretation is outside authorised scope of approval

4 Document results

• 4.1Document compliance/non-compliance with requirements of test and/or specifications
• 4.2Estimate and document uncertainty of measurement in accordance with workplace procedures
• 4.3Record the results of each test/calibration accurately, unambiguously and objectively
• 4.4Ensure confidentiality of workplace information in accordance with workplace procedures

5 Finalise calibration

• 5.1Prepare and issue a final report for the job/item detailing testing carried out, statement of compliance and all other required information
• 5.2Report any non-compliance and verify next course of action with supervisor
• 5.3Attach calibration labels, equipment stickers, quality control tags and tamper resistant seals as required in workplace procedures
• 5.4Report all changes and deviations that may have a significant influence on the test
• 5.5Store test equipment/measurement standards and results in accordance with workplace procedures

What does an assessment tool for MSL905004 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MSL905004 needs to address all 36 unit components: 5 elements with 24 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 9 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 MSL905004?

Auditori pulls the current release of MSL905004 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 MSL905004 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MSL905004 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 MSL905004, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
