What an assessment for MEM23112 must cover
31 assessable components: 4 elements (13 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 Determine scope of electro and controller operation
- 1.1Assess current or proposed controller context for electrical and automation safety and risks
- 1.2Identify potential or actual dangerous high currents and voltages and check for regulatory compliance requirements related to extra low, low and high voltage applications
- 1.3Identify work health and safety (WHS) and regulatory requirements, codes of practice, standards, risk management and organisational procedures, including those related to automation safety
- 1.4Identify stakeholders to be consulted on investigation task
- 1.5Investigate software and software techniques required for basic analysis and graphics required for controller investigation task
- 1.6Ensure appropriate support including licensed electrical, technical and professional assistance is available
2 Review functions and features needed in controller application
- 2.1Use analytical and graphical software to review controller application and function
- 2.2Validate software results
- 2.3Undertake required instrument readings
3 Program controllers and SCADA applications for required functions
- 3.1Program controller for required sequencing and actuations for applications
- 3.2Develop simple SCADA applications for required interactions with inputs and outputs of controllers
4 Report results
- 4.1Record outcomes of investigation, evaluation and application
- 4.2Provide documentation including calculations, diagrams, programs and files
Performance evidence
- identifying and applying work health and safety (WHS), regulatory and risk management procedures
- reviewing dangers and the effects of electricity on humans
- identifying effects and dangers of electricity, automated systems and specialist requirements including licensing related to technical work

Questions about assessing MEM23112
What does an assessment tool for MEM23112 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM23112 needs to address all 31 unit components: 4 elements with 13 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 MEM23112?
Auditori pulls the current release of MEM23112 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 MEM23112 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing MEM23112 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 MEM23112, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
