Release 2. Minor Change. Typographic error in prerequisites corrected.

Release 1. This is the first release of this unit of competency in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package.

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to conduct compliance and functional verification of electrical apparatus and existing circuits.

It includes inspection and testing to verify electrical apparatus and/or existing circuits are safe and comply with all requirements. It covers working safely; visual inspections and mandatory, optional and functional testing following verification procedures; identifying non-compliance defects and mandatory reporting requirements.

The skills and knowledge described in this unit require a licence or permit to practice in the workplace where work is carried out on electrical installations which are designed to operate at voltages greater than 50 V alternating current (a.c.) or 120 V direct current (d.c.).

Competency development activities in this unit are subject to regulations directly related to licensing. Where a licence or permit to practice is not held, a relevant contract of training, such as an Australian Apprenticeship, may be required.

Additional and/or other conditions may apply in some jurisdictions subject to regulations related to electrical work. Practice in the workplace and during training is also subject to work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations.

Current Licence Holders:

Those holding an ‘Electrical Fitter Occupational Licence’ or equivalent issued in an Australian state or territory and are currently employed as an Electrical Fitter meet the requirements of this unit and its prerequisite requirements.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Non-essential conditions may be found in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

Verification and testing must include at least the following two different types of installations:

electrical apparatus and existing circuits comprising an apparatus and existing circuit supplied by a single phase supply

electrical apparatus and existing circuits supplied by a three phase supply

This unit replaces and is not equivalent to UEENEEG199A Conduct compliance and functional verification of electrical apparatus and existing circuits.
