DEFEXO124 — Perform explosive tests, measurements and analyses

1 Plan tests or analyses

• 1.1Identify explosive sample and determine test or analysis requirements
• 1.2Select appropriate methods and assemble, set up and calibrate the required testing apparatus
• 1.3Perform routine standardisation procedures prior to the test or analysis and record results

2 Develop specialised tests or analyses

• 2.1Locate, discuss and confirm relevant technical information with other staff
• 2.2Develop experimental design in liaison with other staff
• 2.3Arrange the building or purchase of necessary equipment given project constraints and available skills and materials
• 2.4Trial, document and evaluate new procedures

3 Perform qualitative analysis

• 3.1Perform qualitative tests to observe explosive properties
• 3.2Compare data with standards, charts, tables, and spectra in order to identify known or unknown materials and their properties
• 3.3Perform tests or analyses efficiently and within the timeframe

4 Perform quantitative analysis

• 4.1Perform quantitative tests to measure explosive properties
• 4.2Use available computer technology to control instruments or acquire/translate/convert data to optimise test accuracy
• 4.3Check samples and analyses when non-standard results are obtained
• 4.4Complete tests or analyses within the timeframe

5 Record and validate results

• 5.1Record data using appropriate worksheets and/or information management systems
• 5.2Analyse data for anomalies and ‘out of control’ conditions and accept or reject
• 5.3Assess data for validity against quantity and compatibility information, known standards and reference materials
• 5.4Modify test procedures, if necessary, under supervision

What does an assessment tool for DEFEXO124 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for DEFEXO124 needs to address all 33 unit components: 5 elements with 18 performance criteria, 8 performance evidence requirements, 7 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 DEFEXO124?

Auditori pulls the current release of DEFEXO124 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 DEFEXO124 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing DEFEXO124 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 DEFEXO124, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
