• 3.4Identify and assemble required tools, equipment and testing devices according to workplace requirements.
• 3.5Switch alarm signalling equipment to test mode in back-to-base facilities.
• 3.6Physically isolate equipment to ensure testing or maintenance procedures do not cause discharge of extinguishing agent.
• 3.7Electrically isolate equipment and interface controls to other systems to ensure no alarms or actions are unduly generated.
• 3.8Install and calibrate test equipment to verify operation of components and system.

4 Inspect and test installed gaseous fire-suppression system.

• 4.1Locate and identify system components on site, verify exact correspondence of system layout to installation drawings and report identified anomalies.
• 4.2Safely complete mechanical inspection tasks specified for the relevant maintenance schedule period according to Australian Standards, manufacturer and workplace requirements.
• 4.3Safely complete mechanical test tasks specified for the relevant maintenance schedule period according to Australian Standards, manufacturer and workplace requirements.
• 4.4Record inspection and testing results and identified faults according to regulatory and workplace requirements.

5 Conduct preventive maintenance on installed gaseous fire-suppression system.

• 5.1Complete mechanical preventive maintenance tasks specified for the relevant maintenance schedule period according to Australian Standards, manufacturer and workplace requirements.
• 5.2Repair or replace faulty equipment according to regulatory and workplace requirements.
• 5.3Organise transport and refilling of gaseous agent containers by authorised refilling station according to workplace requirements.
• 5.4Record preventive maintenance results according to regulatory and workplace requirements.

6 Finalise service operation.

• 6.1Reinstate gaseous fire-suppression system and check to confirm it is fully operational according to manufacturer and workplace requirements.
• 6.2Complete service records and report outstanding defects and recommended rectifications according to Australian Standards, regulatory and workplace requirements.
• 6.3Check tools and equipment for faults, wear or damage and rectify or report problems according to workplace requirements.
• 6.4Leave client premises in a clean and tidy condition.

What does an assessment tool for CPPFES2025 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPPFES2025 needs to address all 76 unit components: 6 elements with 29 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 46 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 CPPFES2025?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPPFES2025 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 CPPFES2025 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPPFES2025 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 CPPFES2025, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
