What an assessment for MEM48027 must cover
21 assessable components: 3 elements (10 performance criteria), 7 performance evidence and 4 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 work information
2 Select non-metallic materials for specific applications
- 2.1Determine the engineering requirement for the specific application in consultation with others
- 2.2Select material based on the requirement and consideration of principal properties and further processing
- 2.3Confirm selection according to standard operating procedures (SOPs)
3 Verify selected non-metallic material as fit for purpose
- 3.1Identify appropriate tests for the required properties
- 3.2Arrange testing of materials with internal or external parties based on testing requirements
- 3.3Analyse test results and confirm or modify material choices based on test outcomes
Performance evidence
- following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices
- identifying and interpreting specifications, charts, lists, drawings and other applicable reference documents in selecting non-metallic materials for engineering applications
- researching common engineering non-metallic materials by their required properties specific for the application on at least two occasions
- selecting or carrying out tests appropriate to the material
- arranging tests appropriate to the non-metallic material and analysing the results on at least two occasions
- verifying selection of materials
- Note: Where a volume and/or frequency is not specified, demonstration must be provided at least once.
Knowledge evidence
- safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
- principles involved in selecting non-metallic materials
- common engineering non-metallic materials and properties including: structure of materials, general non-crystalline features and short-range order, polymers and plastics, plastics and polymers processing and use, ceramic materials, manufacture of ceramic articles, glass, fibres, composite materials, adhesives
- typical properties to be tested including: tensile strength, compression, shear characteristics, torsion, hardness, impact resistance, fatigue resistance, creep resistance, visual appearance and colour, magnetic properties, corrosion resistance, compromises made to accommodate cost against properties.

Questions about assessing MEM48027
What does an assessment tool for MEM48027 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM48027 needs to address all 21 unit components: 3 elements with 10 performance criteria, 7 performance evidence requirements, 4 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 MEM48027?
Auditori pulls the current release of MEM48027 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 MEM48027 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing MEM48027 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 MEM48027, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
