What an assessment for MEM234007 must cover
46 assessable components: 3 elements (19 performance criteria), 11 performance evidence and 16 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 design brief for fluid power systems
- 1.1Confirm the design brief and operational requirements with the client
- 1.2Establish technical, commercial and environmental parameters of the brief or contract
- 1.3Determine stakeholders to be consulted in design process
- 1.4Consider regulatory, sustainability or environmental issues relevant to the briefs
- 1.5Provide preliminary advice to client on the feasibility for realising the fluid power system design
2 Prepare concept proposal
- 2.1Analyse and establish worksite requirements for fluid power system realisation in conjunction with the client
- 2.2Undertake initial design investigations for fluid power system capacity and responsiveness
- 2.3Carry out required modelling, simulation and calculations, using appropriate software and test equipment to determine fluid power system, function, behaviour and safety
- 2.4Generate possible solutions that respond to the design brief
- 2.5Check feasibility and validate solutions against design criteria ensuring conformity to WHS requirements and relevant standards
- 2.6Determine social and sustainability implications of solutions
- 2.7Review concept proposals with client to identify preferred solution
3 Design fluid power system
- 3.1Develop selected fluid power design to meet specifications, including dimensioning, sizing and positioning of system components
- 3.2Evaluate sequence and mode control methods for multi-actuator circuit, stand alone and network designs for implementation
- 3.3Determine options for design of compressed air supply for a multi-application facility, if applicable
- 3.4Ensure that design solution is optimised with respect to the system specifications
- 3.5Develop fluid power design documentation, including drawings, circuit diagrams, specifications, operating instructions and any appropriate manuals and training materials
- 3.6Check that the final design meets all required specifications and operational capabilities
- 3.7Consult with client and stakeholders to obtain sign-off on design
Performance evidence
- interpreting features of fluid power systems and parameters of the brief or contract
- advising client based on discipline knowledge, work health and safety (WHS) and regulatory standards
- researching trends and techniques in fluid power system design
- determining work health and safety (WHS), regulatory and risk management requirements
- investigating and presenting options for fluid power design on at least two occasions
- investigating faults in existing designs and proposing solutions
- measuring, modelling, calculating, analysing and using software and validation techniques including 2D and 3D modelling
- generating and evaluating solutions for feasibility against design criteria
- designing optimum fluid power system solution on at least two occasions
- communicating, negotiating and reviewing with stakeholders and client throughout the process to obtain agreement on proposal and sign-off on design
- documenting design with drawings, circuit diagrams, specifications and instructions.

Questions about assessing MEM234007
What does an assessment tool for MEM234007 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM234007 needs to address all 46 unit components: 3 elements with 19 performance criteria, 11 performance evidence requirements, 16 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 MEM234007?
Auditori pulls the current release of MEM234007 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 MEM234007 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing MEM234007 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 MEM234007, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
