What an assessment for CPPFES3046 must cover

34 assessable components: 4 elements (21 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 12 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 Apply rules and regulations to decommissioning operation.

  • 1.1Interpret work instructions to clarify types of gaseous agent containers and actuators to be decommissioned, decommissioning timeframes and site location.
  • 1.2Discuss planned decommissioning procedures with relevant persons to clarify client needs and expectations.
  • 1.3Plan work activities to prevent ODS and SGG emissions and comply with relevant Australian Standards, ODS and SGG regulations, work health and safety (WHS) and workplace requirements.
  • 1.4Identify potential and actual breaches of rules and regulations associated with work instructions and take required action to ensure compliance according to regulatory and workplace requirements.

2 Prepare to decommission gaseous agent containers and actuators.

  • 2.1Arrange access to worksite and communicate with responsible entity and affected persons to advise duration and impact of planned decommissioning procedures.
  • 2.2Identify and control hazards in the work area according to workplace requirements.
  • 2.3Select and use required materials, tools and equipment, including personal protective equipment (PPE).
  • 2.4Discuss and confirm decommissioning guidelines with relevant persons to confirm they meet client, manufacturer, regulatory and workplace requirements.
  • 2.5Identify and confirm system components and confirm that safety measures are in place prior to the decommissioning process according to workplace requirements.
  • 2.6Check to confirm access to the system complies with decommissioning guidelines and provides minimal disruption to the client or property.

3 Perform decommissioning procedures.

  • 3.1Decommission gaseous agent containers and actuators according to decommissioning guidelines, manufacturer, regulatory, workplace and client requirements.
  • 3.2Isolate interfaced actuators and place lock-off devices and required signage according to regulatory and workplace requirements.
  • 3.3Disconnect manual, electrical and mechanical actuators according to manufacturer requirements.
  • 3.4Disconnect pneumatic actuators, pilot and slave tubes and fittings according to manufacturer requirements.
  • 3.5Fit transport caps, plugs and locking devices on discharge outlets and actuator ports according to regulatory requirements.
  • 3.6Disconnect container manifold connection components according to manufacturer requirements.
  • 3.7Connect transport caps on valve outlets according to regulatory requirements.

4 Finalise decommissioning operation.

  • 4.1Organise removal and transportation of gaseous agent containers to storage or reclaim facility according to regulatory and workplace requirements.
  • 4.2Complete documentation and decommissioning sign-off with relevant persons according to regulatory and workplace requirements.
  • 4.3Check tools and equipment for faults, wear or damage and rectify or report problems according to workplace requirements.
  • 4.4Leave client premises in a clean and tidy condition.

Performance evidence

  • To demonstrate competency, a candidate must meet the elements and performance criteria of this unit by decommissioning gaseous agent containers and actuators in two different settings.

Knowledge evidence

  • action to take when a breach of work health and safety (WHS), ozone depleting substances (ODS) and synthetic greenhouse gases (SGG) regulation or other policy occurs when decommissioning gaseous agent containers and actuators
  • implications of not complying with regulatory requirements when decommissioning gaseous agent containers and actuators
  • key features of legislation, regulations, codes and Australian Standards relevant to decommissioning gaseous agent containers and actuators: dangerous goods markings and requirements for securing and transporting scheduled gaseous fire-extinguishing agents by road; environmental protection; extinguishing agent handling licence (EAHL) requirements; intent of the Australian Standard for the maintenance of fire protection systems and equipment in relation to the decommissioning of gaseous agent containers and actuators; records and documentation
  • methods and reasons for preventing ODS and SGG emissions
  • methods for decommissioning gaseous agent containers and actuators
  • methods for isolating interfaced actuators
  • operating principles of actuators, activating mechanisms, discharge valve assembly and manifold connection components
  • purpose of auxiliary shutdown fire system and equipment
  • purpose of safety devices and transport caps
  • types and purpose of electrical safeguards used to protect persons and property when decommissioning gaseous agent containers and actuators
  • types and purpose of tools, equipment and materials used when decommissioning gaseous agent containers and actuators
  • workplace requirements for decommissioning gaseous agent containers and actuators: maintenance of tools and equipment; WHS, including hazard and risk identification and control

Questions about assessing CPPFES3046

What does an assessment tool for CPPFES3046 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPPFES3046 needs to address all 34 unit components: 4 elements with 21 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 12 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 CPPFES3046?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPPFES3046 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 CPPFES3046 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPPFES3046 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 CPPFES3046, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
