What an assessment for MEM10021 must cover

54 assessable components: 4 elements (13 performance criteria), 18 performance evidence and 23 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 Determine job requirements

  • 1.1Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs)
  • 1.2Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times, including appropriate risk control measures
  • 1.3Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs
  • 1.4Identify job requirements from specifications, drawings, job sheets or work instructions

2 Prepare to inspect, test and verify electrical installations

  • 2.1Review all relevant documentation pertaining to the electrical installation in preparedness for testing and verification
  • 2.2Consult with relevant personnel in readiness for inspection, verification and testing of the electrical installation
  • 2.3Obtain all necessary tools, equipment and testing instruments needed to verify compliance ensuring all instruments are calibrated

3 Inspect, test and verify electrical installations

  • 3.1Isolate and tag circuits and equipment in accordance with procedures, where required
  • 3.2Carry out a visual inspection of the electrical installation in accordance with the Testing and Verification – Visual Inspection Check List described in the Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules
  • 3.3Conduct all mandatory tests to verify that the earthing conductor resistance, insulation resistance, all polarities and circuit connections meet the requirements in accordance with the Australian/New Zealand the Wiring Rules
  • 3.4Conduct optional testing to verify that the fault-loop impedance and the operation of residual current devices meet the requirements in accordance with the Australian/New Zealand the Wiring Rules

4 Report inspection and test results

  • 4.1Identify and report all defects and make recommendations for rectification in accordance with SOPs
  • 4.2Complete all mandatory documentation in accordance with regulatory and local supply authority requirements

Performance evidence

  • following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices
  • obtaining the relevant work permits and implementing appropriate risk control measures
  • identifying and interpreting circuits, drawings, plans and specifications relevant to the work to be undertaken
  • preparing and following work plans in accordance with legislative and regulatory requirements and hazard and safety requirements
  • reviewing all relevant documentation pertaining to the electrical installation to be inspected and tested
  • consulting with all relevant personnel affected by this process
  • obtaining the necessary tools, equipment and testing instruments ensuring all instruments are calibrated
  • preparing a safe work method statement (SWMS) or job safety analysis (JSA) in the absence of established procedures for effective isolation
  • performing a visual inspection ensuring that it meets the requirements of the Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules – Testing and Verification Visual Inspection Check List
  • performing the mandatory and optional circuit tests required for electrical cables in a range of installations and final subcircuits, including:
  • following safe testing procedures
  • testing to show if the earth continuity is sufficiently low
  • testing to show if the insulation resistance is sufficiently high
  • testing to show if the polarity and circuit connections are correct
  • testing to show earth fault-loop impedance is sufficiently low
  • performing testing to verify that residual current devices (RCDs) operate as intended
  • identifying and reporting of any non-compliance defect/s and making necessary recommendations in accordance with appropriate procedures
  • completing all mandatory documentation in accordance with regulatory and local supply authority requirements.

Knowledge evidence

  • safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • isolation and lockout procedures and the purpose and use of SWMS or JSA
  • tools, equipment and test instruments needed to conduct electrical installation inspection, testing and verification process
  • need for calibration of instruments
  • testing procedures, requirements and considerations
  • visual inspection of installations for compliance with the Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules, including:
  • general – protection against direct and indirect contact, hazardous parts, spread of fire and general condition
  • consumers mains
  • switchboards
  • wiring systems
  • electrical equipment
  • earthing
  • mandatory tests, including:
  • continuity of the earthing system
  • insulation resistance
  • polarity
  • correct circuit connections
  • optional tests, including:
  • fault-loop impedance
  • verification of operation of RCDs
  • mandatory documentation and records as required by local supply authority, legislative and regulatory requirements
  • documentation for periodic testing and tagging of electrical equipment
  • inspection and testing of construction and demolition sites complying with AS/NZS 3012:2010 Electrical installations – Construction and demolition sites, and recording of tests.

Questions about assessing MEM10021

What does an assessment tool for MEM10021 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM10021 needs to address all 54 unit components: 4 elements with 13 performance criteria, 18 performance evidence requirements, 23 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 MEM10021?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM10021 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 MEM10021 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM10021 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 MEM10021, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
