MEM23063 — Select and organise mechanical engineering material tests

1 Distinguish classes of engineering materials, based on properties and materials tests

• 1.1Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) and comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times
• 1.2Relate material properties to common mechanical and manufacturing engineering methods and processes
• 1.3Identify common characteristics, faults or flaws in materials, components and product
• 1.4Identify engineering-related test methods for materials and components or product properties
• 1.5Identify common industrial test standards and codes, calibration requirements, regulations and authorities relevant to selection of materials and products for mechanical and manufacturing engineering applications

2 Utilise sources of information on engineering materials, materials tests and test equipment

• 2.1Review design information for material specifications and required material tests
• 2.2Identify and use appropriate sources of information on materials, material tests and test calibration
• 2.3Identify and use appropriate sources of information on methods of testing of properties of materials
• 2.4Investigate and report on relevant standards and codes
• 2.5Identify and use appropriate sources of information on safety data sheets (SDS)
• 2.6Establish availability of technical and professional assistance

3 Determine the properties of engineering materials

• 3.1Specify required materials tests and determine the quality, safety and suitability for applications
• 3.2Ensure traceability of measurement standard
• 3.3Obtain test sheets and/or certificates for appropriate materials for applications in accordance with organisational procedures and/or codes and regulations
• 3.4Obtain appropriate SDS for applications in accordance with organisational procedures and/or codes and regulations

4 Determine suitable materials

• 4.1Select materials for use in mechanical or manufacturing engineering applications based on relevant test information
• 4.2Incorporate materials and components into mechanical and manufacturing processes in accordance with design functional requirements

5 Report and record outcomes

• 5.1Report and record materials selections against design functional requirements in accordance with organisational procedures, codes and regulations
• 5.2Undertake any required environmental impact and sustainability assessment
• 5.3Report and record materials tests and test sheets or certificates in accordance with organisational procedures, codes and regulations, including appropriate calibration and traceability
• 5.4Report and record appropriate SDS for applications in accordance with organisational procedures, codes and regulations

What does an assessment tool for MEM23063 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM23063 needs to address all 45 unit components: 5 elements with 21 performance criteria, 10 performance evidence requirements, 14 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 MEM23063?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM23063 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 MEM23063 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM23063 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 MEM23063, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
