What an assessment for UEERS0023 must cover

53 assessable components: 3 elements (22 performance criteria), 13 performance evidence and 18 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 inspect, test and certify power signalling circuits, equipment and components

  • 1.1Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and clarified

  • 1.3Scope of inspection, testing and certifying is determined from job specifications, design drawings and regulatory requirements
  • 1.4Appropriate safe working person/s is consulted to ensure work activity is coordinated effectively with others involved on the worksite
  • 1.5Materials needed for testing and certifying of power signalling circuits, equipment and components are obtained in accordance with workplace procedures and checked against job specifications
  • 1.6Tools, equipment and testing devices needed to inspect, test and certify power signalling circuits, equipment and components are obtained in accordance with workplace procedures and checked for correct operation and safety
  • 1.7Test leads and bridges are identified and recorded to ensure that they are in accordance with the relevant standard

2 Inspect, test and certify power signalling circuits, equipment and components

  • 2.1WHS/OHS risk control measures and procedures for carrying out work are followed
  • 2.2On-track safe working requirements are identified and applied in accordance with workplace procedures and safety management system
  • 2.3Inspection is carried out and circuits, equipment and components are checked to ensure they are in accordance with manufacturer and system specifications
  • 2.4Inspecting, testing and certifying work includes installation, termination and operation of the signalling equipment; and checking indicators and signal system operation is completed in accordance with network requirements and relevant industry standards
  • 2.5Methods for dealing with unplanned situations are selected on the basis of safety and specified work outcomes
  • 2.6Inspection, testing, certifying and repairs are performed efficiently, without waste of materials or damage to apparatus, the surrounding environment or services using sustainable energy practices
  • 2.7Straps and bridges are used in accordance with the relevant standard and with the appropriate authority
  • 2.8System and design faults are verified using relevant industry technical standards information, fault-finding and diagnostic techniques to identify faulty wiring equipment and components
  • 2.9Identified irregularities and non-conforming wiring, equipment or components are documented and immediate follow-up action is initiated to ensure faults are rectified
  • 2.10Faulty signalling equipment is replaced, adjusted and secured in accordance with manufacturer specifications and workplace procedures

3 Complete testing and certifying work and reports

  • 3.1WHS/OHS work completion risk control measures and workplace procedures are followed
  • 3.2Inspection and test results are documented in accordance with workplace procedures and faulty or replaced equipment is tagged and despatched to maintain equipment spares
  • 3.3All straps and bridges are removed and compared against the initial record of leads, straps and bridges
  • 3.4Incomplete testing is recorded and handed over to approved/ person/s for follow up
  • 3.5Operational equipment is handed over to approved person/s in accordance with handover workplace procedures and final documentation is completed

Questions about assessing UEERS0023

What does an assessment tool for UEERS0023 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for UEERS0023 needs to address all 53 unit components: 3 elements with 22 performance criteria, 13 performance evidence requirements, 18 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 UEERS0023?

Auditori pulls the current release of UEERS0023 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 UEERS0023 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing UEERS0023 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 UEERS0023, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
