Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standard defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:
clean vehicle underbody and components on three different vehicles.
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to cleaning vehicle underbody, including procedures for:
selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE)
using tools and equipment
using safety data sheets (SDS) for cleaning products
handling and storing cleaning material
environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of waste materials and cleaning chemicals
methods and techniques for cleaning vehicle underbody and components, including:

cleaning equipment type and correct use
washing and cleaning methods and procedures
drying methods and procedures
procedures for protecting vehicle electrical and mechanical components and systems during cleaning process
procedures for final inspection and test procedures prior to vehicle handover.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the vehicle underbodies that they have cleaned, e.g. work orders.
Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
The following resources must be made available:
automotive detailing workplace or simulated workplace
workplace instructions
PPE required to clean vehicle underbodies
SDS for cleaning products
materials required to wash and clean vehicle underbodies and components
three different vehicles requiring underbody and components to be cleaned
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for cleaning and drying vehicle underbodies.
