What an assessment for PMASMELT266 must cover
36 assessable components: 4 elements (20 performance criteria), 9 performance evidence and 7 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.

- 4.3Check plant is ready to be returned to service
- 4.4De-isolate and prepare plant for return to service
Performance evidence
- collect filled crucibles for transportation and move to required location
- transfer/siphon molten aluminium to the destination furnace
- monitor equipment conditions and maintenance requirements and take action
- monitor process parameters and performance and make adjustments according to procedures
- recognise early warning signs of equipment/processes needing attention or with potential problems and take action to ensure a timely return to full performance
- isolate and de-isolate equipment
- identify hazards and apply hazard control procedures
- respond to emergencies
- apply housekeeping procedures, including cleaning the area, removal of contaminants, safety inspections and rectification of issues that could compromise safety
Knowledge evidence
- all items on a schematic of the siphon equipment, delivery equipment and functions of each
- basic principles of operation of main equipment items, including siphoning equipment and crucible transport equipment
- basic understanding of the product specifications and variations required on the input and output side
- process parameters and limits (e.g. temperature)
- emergency responses, including those related to: leak/loss of containment, evacuation due to fire or open cell circuit, loss of power, excessive emissions of fumes or particulate, major oil spill, equipment failure
- typical hazards associated with heat, electricity, hydraulics and pneumatics and high pressure piping and valves, pinch and crush points on conveyor systems, mobile equipment, hazardous materials, banned items, suspended loads and hydration and heat stress, and how to recognise them
- correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE), including specific insulated boots, heat resistant material, full-ventilated suits, full-face masks and other situation-specific equipment

Questions about assessing PMASMELT266
What does an assessment tool for PMASMELT266 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for PMASMELT266 needs to address all 36 unit components: 4 elements with 20 performance criteria, 9 performance evidence requirements, 7 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 PMASMELT266?
Auditori pulls the current release of PMASMELT266 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 PMASMELT266 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing PMASMELT266 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 PMASMELT266, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
