MSL905005 — Create or modify calibration procedures

1 Assess the suitability of available calibration procedures

• 1.1Confirm that the authorised calibration procedure is not appropriate for intended use or requires modification
• 1.2Research suitable alternative established calibration procedures
• 1.3Establish whether an available procedure can be customised or if a new procedure is needed
• 1.4Obtain internal approval to develop or modify a calibration procedure
• 1.5Confirm that available resources meet all the requirements of the alternative or new procedure
• 1.6Gain authorisation for any deviation from requirements previously agreed with client

2 Develop procedure

• 2.1Identify and document all relevant calibration data to be collected, including parameters and ranges to be tested
• 2.2Describe all new instructions or modifications to methods to ensure repeatability of test
• 2.3Document all hazards and safety measures to be observed
• 2.4Specify data to be recorded and produce a results template
• 2.5List the requirements for calibration approval and rejection
• 2.6Confirm that all calibration requirements can be fulfilled by using the procedure

3 Prepare equipment for testing

• 3.1Use the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), safety equipment and procedures
• 3.2Assemble and set up reference standards and associated equipment prior to testing
• 3.3Verify performance of reference standards and measuring equipment prior to use and adjust or calibrate as necessary
• 3.4Identify and minimise potential sources of measurement error

4 Trial modified or new calibration procedure

• 4.1Perform individual steps and confirm they are adequately documented to ensure repeatability of measurement
• 4.2Critically analyse readings to confirm they are the result of a valid measurement and record data as required
• 4.3Adjust device under test to bring readings within tolerance and record results
• 4.4Analyse the resulting test data to detect trends or inconsistencies that may significantly affect the accuracy or validity of test results

5 Confirm the modified or new procedure is fit for purpose

• 5.1Compare results achieved with those from other calibration procedures
• 5.2Systematically analyse all measurement and environmental factors that may influence the result and take corrective action as required
• 5.3Arrange for internal peer checking of calibration procedure, data and results and incorporate feedback
• 5.4Quantify the uncertainties of results obtained by analysing equipment specifications and test methodology
• 5.5Confirm that the modified or new procedure is fit for purpose and relevant to the client’s needs and document as necessary

6 Document and review modified or new calibration procedure

• 6.1Ensure that the procedure is written in accordance with workplace procedures or statutory and regulatory requirements
• 6.2Ensure that the procedure has been reviewed in accordance with workplace procedures
• 6.3Report and present the procedure to appropriate personnel for validation before use

What does an assessment tool for MSL905005 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MSL905005 needs to address all 47 unit components: 6 elements with 28 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 15 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 MSL905005?

Auditori pulls the current release of MSL905005 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 MSL905005 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MSL905005 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 MSL905005, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
