About Lesson

Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT)

1.1. Definition

Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT): FAT is a verification process conducted at the manufacturer’s facility before the equipment is shipped to the site. The goal of FAT is to ensure that the equipment meets all specified requirements and functions correctly according to the design specifications.

1.2. Objectives

  • Compliance Verification: Confirm that the equipment complies with the design specifications, contractual requirements, and industry standards.
  • Functionality Check: Test the equipment’s performance to verify that it operates as intended.
  • Issue Identification: Detect and address any defects or issues before the equipment is shipped, reducing the risk of problems during installation and operation.

1.3. Components of FAT

  • Pre-Test Review: Review documentation, including design specifications, test plans, and procedures.
  • Testing Procedures: Execute tests on equipment functionality, performance, and safety features as per the agreed-upon test plan.
  • Documentation Review: Verify that all technical documentation, such as manuals and schematics, is complete and accurate.
  • Test Results: Document the results of all tests, including any deviations from the specifications and the corrective actions taken.

1.4. Process

  1. Preparation: Develop a detailed FAT plan outlining the test objectives, procedures, and criteria.
  2. Execution: Conduct tests on the equipment in the manufacturer’s facility, following the FAT plan.
  3. Evaluation: Assess test results, document findings, and address any issues identified.
  4. Approval: Obtain formal approval from the client or relevant stakeholders once the equipment passes FAT.

1.5. Benefits

  • Early Issue Detection: Identify and resolve issues before the equipment reaches the site, reducing potential delays and costs.
  • Quality Assurance: Ensure that the equipment meets all required specifications and standards.
  • Improved Confidence: Increase confidence in the equipment’s performance and reliability before installation.
