What an assessment for AURETR013 must cover
29 assessable components: 4 elements (14 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 8 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.

2 Inspect and test system
- 2.1System is inspected and tested according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures and safety requirements
- 2.2Charging circuit is tested according to workplace procedures and without causing damage to components or systems
- 2.3Inspection results are compared with manufacturer specifications
- 2.4Inspection findings are reported according to workplace procedures, including recommendations for required repairs or adjustments
3 Service system
- 3.1System is serviced according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements, and without causing damage to components or systems
- 3.3Post-service testing is carried out to confirm charging system is operating to manufacturer specifications and that no other problems are present
4 Complete work processes
- 4.1Final inspection is made to ensure work is to workplace expectations and vehicle, vessel or machinery is presented ready for use
- 4.2Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recycle material is collected
- 4.3Tools and equipment are checked and stored and any faulty electrical equipment is identified, tagged and isolated according to workplace procedures
- 4.4Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures
Performance evidence
- inspect, test and service the charging systems of three different vehicles, vessels or machinery, in which the work must involve checking: - system output - system control circuit - system wiring
Knowledge evidence
- work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to inspecting, testing and servicing charging systems, including procedures for: - selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE), including clothing, and eye and hand protection - working safely with high current electrical systems
- environmental requirements, including procedures: - found in safety data sheets (SDS) relating to toxic and corrosive substances - for recycling and disposing of replaced charging system components
- identification and function of charging system components, including: - battery types, including: - lead acid and deep cycle batteries - maintenance- free batteries - generators - alternators
- basic operating principles of charging systems, including: - using mechanical energy to produce electrical energy - charging battery and supplying power demands of vehicle
- inspection procedures for charging systems, including visual, aural and functional assessments of: - component damage and wear - component corrosion
- testing procedures for charging systems, including: - accessing electrical terminals and using test probes without damaging connectors, fuse holders or wiring - measuring charging system output under load
- servicing procedures for charging systems, including: - changing and adjusting drive belts - cleaning and tightening terminals - checking gauges and warning devices for operation
- post-service testing procedures, including confirming that charging system is operating to manufacturer specifications

Questions about assessing AURETR013
What does an assessment tool for AURETR013 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AURETR013 needs to address all 29 unit components: 4 elements with 14 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 8 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 AURETR013?
Auditori pulls the current release of AURETR013 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 AURETR013 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing AURETR013 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 AURETR013, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
