What an assessment for MEM18048 must cover

32 assessable components: 3 elements (12 performance criteria), 9 performance evidence and 11 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
1.3Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs
1.4Identify job requirements from specifications, drawings, job sheets or work instructions

2 Locate fault

2.1Determine circuit function and characteristics by reference to circuit diagrams, specifications, schematics and/or consultation with technical adviser
2.2Examine and interpret built-in fault indicators and error codes and record results to procedures, where appropriate
2.3Isolate circuit from power supply
2.4Verify and localise faults using appropriate tools, test equipment, procedures and techniques
2.5Record faults in accordance with SOPs

3 Repair/rectify fault

3.1Repair/replace or adjust circuit/s to specifications or manufacturers’ requirements
3.2Check and test circuit/s for compliance with site or manufacturers’ specifications
3.3Record repair/rectification report in accordance with SOPs

Performance evidence

following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices
use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE)
identify and interpret specifications, charts, lists, circuit drawings, schematics, regulatory and legislative requirements to fault find and repair/rectify basic electrical circuits
check and record built-in fault indicators and error codes to site requirements
checking that the electrical circuit is isolated and tagged where necessary in strict accordance with work health and safety (WHS) requirements and procedures
using diagnostic skills to locate faulty operation using appropriate fault-finding techniques and test equipment to verify faults
test, adjust or set basic controls (e.g. pressure controls thermostats, timers and overloads)
repairing/replacing or adjusting electrical circuits to specifications and verifying using appropriate test equipment that the electrical circuit is operating to manufacturers specifications
recording rectification activities in accordance with SOPs

Knowledge evidence

safe work practices and procedures and use of PPE
circuit characteristics
relevant regulatory requirements
errors indicated by built-in devices
circuit isolation and tagging procedures
common electrical test instruments and their application
common techniques for testing electrical circuits
recording/reporting requirements for electrical circuit faults
appropriate techniques/procedures for returning the circuit/s to specification
site/manufacturers’ circuit specifications
requirements for recording circuit rectifications or replacement

Questions about assessing MEM18048

What does an assessment tool for MEM18048 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM18048 needs to address all 32 unit components: 3 elements with 12 performance criteria, 9 performance evidence requirements, 11 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 MEM18048?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM18048 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 MEM18048 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM18048 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 MEM18048, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
