What an assessment for AURETA006 must cover
38 assessable components: 5 elements (21 performance criteria), 2 performance evidence and 9 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 6 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

- 3.2Tests are carried out according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements
- 3.3Analytical and other diagnostic findings are verified, as required, by using reliable alternative or optional processes
- 3.4Analytical findings and results are assessed against evaluation criteria
- 3.5Valid conclusions are drawn from available evidence and documented according to workplace requirements
4 Make recommendations
- 4.1Options for responding to the objective are determined from further research of technical support information
- 4.2Rectification method is selected from an analysis of the options, operating conditions, regulatory and licensing requirements, and financial implications
- 4.3Report is prepared specifying analysis and evaluation process, and detailing and justifying rectification method or variation to the rectification method
5 Complete work processes
- 5.1Final inspection is made to ensure work is to workplace expectations
- 5.2Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected
- 5.3Tools and equipment are checked and stored, and any faulty electrical equipment is identified, tagged and isolated according to workplace procedures
- 5.4Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures
Performance evidence
- analyse and evaluate an electrical or electronic fault in the air conditioning and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems of two different vehicles or machinery
- the above faults must involve two of the following: compressor system, control module, system pressure and temperature sensor, erratic performance of air conditioning and HVAC system.
Knowledge evidence
- work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to analysing and evaluating faults in air conditioning and HVAC systems, including procedures for: - working with refrigerants at boiling point given risk of frostbite - working with system lubricants, including carcinogenic oils - handling flammable refrigerants - using personal protective equipment - identifying and using fire safety equipment - environmental requirements, including procedures for preventing loss of refrigerant to the atmosphere
- principles and processes involved in planning and implementing analysis and evaluation of electrical and electronic faults in air conditioning and HVAC systems
- design and planning of diagnostic procedures for faults in air conditioning and HVAC systems, including procedures for diagnosing: - electrical faults - electronic faults
- types, functions, operation and limitations of air conditioning and HVAC systems, including: - gateway network control module - bus network topography - body control module (BCM) functions - associated network air conditioning and HVAC system components - sensor and actuator control and monitoring systems - control signal circuits
- testing procedures for air conditioning and HVAC systems, including the use of: - digital multimeter - scan tool - oscilloscope - manifold and gauge set - recovery unit - vacuum pump - electronic leak detector - nitrogen cylinder and regulator - digital vacuum gauge (vacrometer) - electronic scales - oil injector - infra-red thermometer (pyrometer) - electronic temperature probe - valve core removing or replacement tool - humidity detector (psychrometer)
- types, functions, operation and limitations of diagnostic testing equipment required to analyse and evaluate electrical and electronic faults in air conditioning and HVAC systems
- procedures for accessing and interpreting scan tool system data, including: - diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), including: - conditions that set the DTCs - conditions for running DTCs - live data - freeze frame data - waveforms
- procedures for documenting and reporting the analysis and evaluation process
- regulatory and licensing requirements relating to air conditioning and HVAC systems, including those of: - Australian Refrigeration Council (ARCtick) - Australian automotive code of practice: Control of refrigerant gases during manufacture, installation, servicing or de-commissioning of motor vehicle air conditioners - Australian Design Rules (ADRs).
Foundation skills

Questions about assessing AURETA006
What does an assessment tool for AURETA006 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AURETA006 needs to address all 38 unit components: 5 elements with 21 performance criteria, 2 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 AURETA006?
Auditori pulls the current release of AURETA006 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 AURETA006 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing AURETA006 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 AURETA006, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
