What an assessment for MEM05066 must cover

39 assessable components: 4 elements (21 performance criteria), 8 performance evidence and 10 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 Interpret customer requirements

1.1Identify welding and fabrication requirements from drawings, specifications and other documentation
1.2Determine implications for required welding and testing from specified codes and standards
1.3Identify joint design and welding parameter specifications required by WPS
1.4Identify issues where requests for further information (RFIs) are required and communicate them to the customer
1.5Record any resultant changes to welding, fabrication and quality specifications

2 Develop a preliminary WPS

2.1List or produce sketches of required joints for inclusion in WPS
2.2Develop preliminary welding procedure specification based on the design, specified standards and any customer additional requirements
2.3Assess availability and appropriateness of pre-approved procedure qualification records (PQRs), WPSs and consumables
2.4Determine number and type of test pieces required
2.5Supervise welding of test pieces against preliminary WPS
2.6Organise testing of test welds by an accredited testing agency or verify results of previous testing procedures, where allowed under relevant standards or codes and customer specification

3 Establish final welding procedure

3.1Interpret destructive and non-destructive testing (NDT) reports
3.2Document test results and the procedures for creating and testing sample welds in a PQR
3.3Adjust preliminary WPS as necessary and document final WPS based on outcomes
3.4Obtain approval of WPS according to requirements of relevant standards and/or codes, regulations and customer
3.5Record WPS in accordance with enterprise standard and code requirements

4 Maintain WPS

4.1Liaise with fabricator on use of WPS in production
4.2Review results of testing of production test pieces and other weld tests
4.3Adjust WPS based on review
4.4Obtain approval of any adjustments to WPS according to requirements of relevant standards and/or codes, regulations and customer
4.5Record adjustments to WPS according to enterprise and standard and code requirements

Performance evidence

interpret technical drawings
apply requirements of relevant standards and codes to designs incorporating welding and associated processes
produce sketches showing joint configuration including weld dimensions, weld preparation, weld position or number, material type and grade for inclusion in welding procedure specification (WPS)
assess pre-approved procedure qualification records (PQRs) and WPSs and consumables for suitability to a current design
supervise the welding of test pieces including: determining the number and type of test piece required for at least two ferrous and two non-ferrous designs and their nominated standards or codes; measuring and recording of welding parameters used during welding of test pieces; arrange for any required witnessing of welding of test pieces
produce PQRs and WPSs covering: ferrous and non-ferrous welding; manual metal arc welding (MMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), tungsten inert gas (TIG), submerged arc, flux cored and oxy welding processes; welds to AS1554 Structural Purpose; at least one international welding standard
file PQRs and WPSs to a welding library.
Where a volume and/or frequency is not specified, demonstration must be provided at least once

Knowledge evidence

factors that influence the quality of fusion welds in steels
the characteristics of commonly-used welding processes
technical drawings and welding symbols
set up for the inspection of welds, macrosections and other mechanical tests
the effects that material departure from specification has on weld quality
procedures for production of test pieces for welding related non-destructive tests (NDTs)
types of welding related to NDT and their application
arithmetic operations, formulae and calculations for testing welding and/or fabrications
procedures for: organising weld tests and obtaining previous weld tests; verifying/amending previously established weld test procedures; documenting welding procedures and preparing a weld test piece
information to be covered in a WPS including: procedure number; process type; consumable size, type and full codification; consumable baking requirement if applicable; parent material grade and specification; plate or pipe thickness range; pipe diameter range; welding position; joint fit up, preparation, cleaning, dimensions etc.; backing strip, back gouging information; pre-heat (including minimum temperature and method); interpass if required and recording of maximum temperature recorded; post weld heat treatment if required including time and temperature; welding technique (weaving, max run width etc.); arc energy limits and their correct application; welding current and polarity; arc voltage; pulse parameters; wire feed speed; wire configuration; welding electrode types and their use; welding gases for shielding, fuel and purging; fluxes; torch and nozzle types and applications.

Questions about assessing MEM05066

What does an assessment tool for MEM05066 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM05066 needs to address all 39 unit components: 4 elements with 21 performance criteria, 8 performance evidence requirements, 10 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 MEM05066?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM05066 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 MEM05066 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM05066 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 MEM05066, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
