What an assessment for UEERL0005 must cover

41 assessable components: 3 elements (18 performance criteria), 16 performance evidence and 7 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 identify faults

1.1Work is planned to ensure WHS/OHS policies and workplace procedures are applied
1.2Tools, electrical equipment and testing devices required for work are obtained in accordance with workplace procedures and checked for correct operation and safety
1.3Relevant person/s is consulted to ensure the work is coordinated with others
1.4Electrical characteristics of electrical equipment and electrical supply are determined and recorded in accordance with workplace procedures
1.5Electrical equipment and associated circuits are identified for isolation purposes in accordance with workplace procedures

2 Locate faults in the electrical equipment

2.1Electrical equipment and associated circuits are isolated in accordance with workplace procedures
2.2WHS/OHS workplace policies and procedures are followed
2.3Visual inspection and checks of the electrical equipment and components are carried out to detect any abnormality, damage or fault in accordance with workplace procedures
2.4Wiring diagrams are checked and possible fault causes identified based on the wiring diagrams
2.5Faults are confirmed and components to be replaced or adjusted are determined and details recorded in accordance with workplace procedures
2.6Electrical equipment is dismantled and/or removed, as required, and components stored to protect them against loss or damage in accordance with workplace procedures
2.7Quality checks of work are undertaken in accordance with workplace procedures

3 Rectify faults

3.1Materials and resources required to complete work are obtained in accordance with workplace procedures and job requirements
3.2Adjustments are made to electrical equipment for operation and parameters in accordance with manufacturers requirements, workplace procedures and relevant industry standards
3.3Faults are rectified in accordance with workplace procedures
3.4Approval for contingencies is obtained from appropriate person/s before implementation in accordance with workplace procedures
3.5Tests on the electrical equipment are performed in accordance with industry procedures to ensure safe return to service and operation of equipment
3.6Report/s, documentation and compliance certifications are completed in accordance with workplace, industry and regulatory requirements

Performance evidence

applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, including: selecting and using and appropriate range of personal protective equipment (PPE) hazard identification using risk control measures using safe working practices when carrying out electrical disconnect/reconnect work working safely with low voltage (LV) electrical installations dealing with unplanned events

Questions about assessing UEERL0005

What does an assessment tool for UEERL0005 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for UEERL0005 needs to address all 41 unit components: 3 elements with 18 performance criteria, 16 performance evidence requirements, 7 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 UEERL0005?

Auditori pulls the current release of UEERL0005 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 UEERL0005 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing UEERL0005 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 UEERL0005, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
