DEFEXO125 — Determine the properties of explosives

1 Plan for explosive testing

• 1.1Identify and confirm type of explosive and required test or analysis
• 1.2Identify nature and type of effects or properties to be determined
• 1.3Investigate and select appropriate methods of measuring and recording the desired effects or properties
• 1.4Investigate and select appropriate firing or initiation techniques and methods
• 1.5Prepare and review the test plan

2 Prepare for explosive testing

• 2.1Test and validate models, simulation and/or prototypes
• 2.2Incorporate modifications or alterations into the testing processes based on validation results
• 2.3Arrange building or purchase of necessary equipment given project constraints and available skills and materials
• 2.4Develop experimental designs in liaison with other staff
• 2.5Assemble, set up and calibrate apparatus
• 2.6Perform routine standardisation procedures prior to the test, and record results

3 Perform explosive test

• 3.1Test instrumentation required for data collection for functionality
• 3.2Prepare and test explosive initiation or firing mechanisms

4 Recover equipment and validate results

• 4.1Recover measurement and recording equipment and extract required data
• 4.2Analyse data for anomalies and ‘out of control’ conditions and accept or reject
• 4.3Assess data for validity against required information, known previous test results and/or relevant reference materials
• 4.4Record test procedures and, if necessary, recommend modifications to test procedures
• 4.5Determine properties and or effects from data and measurements collected

What does an assessment tool for DEFEXO125 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for DEFEXO125 needs to address all 32 unit components: 4 elements with 18 performance criteria, 8 performance evidence requirements, 6 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 DEFEXO125?

Auditori pulls the current release of DEFEXO125 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 DEFEXO125 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing DEFEXO125 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 DEFEXO125, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
