What an assessment for MEM26017 must cover

38 assessable components: 3 elements (20 performance criteria), 7 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
1.3Select and use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs
1.4Identify the chemistry of materials to be applied to the surface
1.5Identify the surface chemistry of the substrate
1.6Determine any chemical treatments needed to make the substrate compatible with the materials to be applied
1.7Interpret safety data sheets (SDS) for materials that may be used
1.8Identify the current and possible required physical states of the substrate

2 Select most appropriate preparation technique for job

2.1Compile specification for required substrate preparation
2.2Compare possible substrate preparation methods with specification
2.3Select most appropriate substrate preparation
2.4Conduct and evaluate tests, as appropriate
2.5Review selection and substrate preparation and make any required changes to substrate preparation

3 Prepare substrate

3.1Identify and control hazards
3.2Prepare substrate, as required and minimise waste
3.3Review result compared to requirements
3.4Review substrate preparation process
3.5Identify areas for improvement and take appropriate actions
3.6Clean up and perform any routine maintenance required on equipment
3.7Complete any required documentation/reporting according to SOPs

Performance evidence

following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices
identifying and interpreting specifications, formulas/recipes, batch sheets, safety data sheets (SDS) for preparing composite or other substrate surfaces
considering all reasonably suitable substrate preparation methods when selecting and choosing the appropriate method
selecting the most appropriate substrate preparation and conducting/organising relevant test and evaluating the test results and making any required changes, as appropriate
preparing substrate, as required, controlling blasting equipment, operating blasting equipment by hand and using chemical treatment equipment in accordance with procedures
identifying areas for improvement and taking appropriate action
completing all documentation and reports, including items requiring further action, in accordance with SOPs.

Knowledge evidence

safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
current state/territory work health and safety (WHS) legislation, standards and codes of practice relevant to preparing composite or other substrate surfaces
methods and purposes of abrasive cleaning
types of abrasives and their applications (e.g. sand, bead, shot, soda and grit)
protection of non-blasted surfaces
waste control, reuse and disposal
hazards and the hierarchy of hazard control measures
work health and safety (WHS) issues and environmental considerations
surface preparation standards (e.g. surface measurement and surface finish)
types of chemical cleaning (e.g. etching and solvents)
aniline preparation of aluminium.

Questions about assessing MEM26017

What does an assessment tool for MEM26017 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM26017 needs to address all 38 unit components: 3 elements with 20 performance criteria, 7 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 MEM26017?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM26017 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 MEM26017 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM26017 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 MEM26017, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
