What an assessment for UEEHA0026 must cover
24 assessable components: 3 elements (18 performance criteria), 3 performance evidence and 3 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 Prepare to carry out maintenance of equipment
- 1.1WHS/OHS policies and procedures to work in hazardous areas are identified and applied
- 1.2Area classification and details of explosion-protected equipment and wiring are ascertained from hazardous area zone drawings and equipment certification documents held in the verification dossier
- 1.3Extent of remedial maintenance to be conducted is determined from regulatory requirements and/or inspection records held in the verification dossier
- 1.4Extent of breakdown maintenance is evaluated and confirmed with person/s reporting the breakdown
- 1.5Limits of breakdown maintenance that can be carried out in situ with regard to explosion risk is determined in consultation with technical management personnel
- 1.6Required tools, equipment and testing devices are obtained and checked for operational safety
2 Carry out equipment maintenance
- 2.1WHS/OHS policies and procedures for working in hazardous areas, including isolation of equipment, are followed
- 2.2Work is carried out in accordance with inspection records
- 2.3Requirements and limitations of scheduled and breakdown remedial maintenance requirements are applied
- 2.4Equipment is adjusted and maintained within the limits permitted by the equipment certification and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
- 2.5Certification documentation for like-for-like replacement parts is sighted to ensure compliance with the equipment certification and manufacturer’s instructions
- 2.6Circuits of equipment being withdrawn from service are isolated and terminated safely and in accordance with maintenance standards
- 2.7Flexible cables and cords are examined and removed from service if they are not in immediate use or are found to be defective or damaged
- 2.8Spare equipment, flexible cables and cords are maintained and stored where they are not likely to suffer deterioration or damage
3 Complete maintenance work and documentation
- 3.1Inspection of maintenance work is arranged in compliance with maintenance standards and regulatory requirements
- 3.2Action is taken to rectify maintenance defects (non-conformances) found during the maintenance work inspection
- 3.3Safety assessment for isolation of equipment is recorded in accordance with maintenance standards
- 3.4Completed maintenance work is documented in accordance with requirements and forwarded to relevant person/s for inclusion in the verification dossier
Performance evidence
- preparing to undertake maintenance of equipment associated with explosive atmospheres, including: - reviewing safe work methods associated with the classified area in which the work is to be carried out - ascertaining the area classification and details of equipment from documentation held in the verification dossier - reviewing inspection records to determine the extent of remedial maintenance - evaluating the extent of breakdown maintenance in consultation with reporting personnel - consulting with technical personnel to determine the limits of maintenance and repair that can be carried out in situ - checking the safety of compliant tools, equipment and testing devices required to carry out the inspection
- maintaining electrical equipment associated with explosive atmospheres as specified in the inspection records, including: - following safe work methods relating the work, including isolation of equipment - adjusting and repairing equipment within the limits permitted by the equipment certification regulations and in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions - using replacement parts permitted by the equipment certification, regulations and manufacturer’s instructions - isolating and terminating circuits of equipment withdrawn from service in accordance with applicable standards - examining flexible cables and cords and removing them from service if not in immediate use or if showing defections - maintaining spare equipment flexible cable and cords and storing them to prevent deterioration or damage
- completing maintenance work inspections and documentation, including: - arranging for inspection of the maintenance work - rectifying maintenance defects (non-conformances) found by the maintenance work inspection - recording safety assessments undertaken for isolation equipment during maintenance - completing maintenance work, documenting the work and forwarding the documentation for inclusion in the verification dossier
Knowledge evidence
- safe work procedures for explosive atmospheres including: - work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) procedures for working in hazardous areas - permit to work systems that cover the hazardous aspects of specific work and locations
- requirements and limitations of remedial maintenance, including: - scheduled maintenance specified in inspection records for particular items of equipment - limits of maintenance in response to a breakdown - isolation and termination of circuits of equipment being withdrawn from service
- compliance standards, equipment certification and manufacturer’s instructions regarding use, maintenance and repair of explosion-protected equipment

Questions about assessing UEEHA0026
What does an assessment tool for UEEHA0026 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for UEEHA0026 needs to address all 24 unit components: 3 elements with 18 performance criteria, 3 performance evidence requirements, 3 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 UEEHA0026?
Auditori pulls the current release of UEEHA0026 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 UEEHA0026 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing UEEHA0026 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 UEEHA0026, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
