FAT (Factory Acceptance Testing) and SAT (Site Acceptance Testing)

FAT (Factory Acceptance Testing) and SAT (Site Acceptance Testing) are crucial steps in ensuring the quality and functionality of systems or equipment before and after installation. Here's an explanation of each:

Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT)

FAT is conducted at the manufacturer's facility before the equipment or system is shipped to the customer. This testing process aims to verify that the equipment operates according to its specifications and requirements. Key objectives of FAT include:

1. Validation of Functionality: Ensuring that the system or equipment performs its intended functions correctly.
2. Quality Assurance: Identifying any manufacturing defects or issues that need to be addressed before delivery.
3. Compliance Check: Verifying that the equipment meets the regulatory and contractual requirements.
4. Customer Satisfaction: Allowing the customer to witness the testing and confirm that their requirements are met before shipping.

Site Acceptance Testing (SAT)

SAT is conducted at the customer's site after the equipment has been installed. The purpose of SAT is to ensure that the system or equipment operates correctly in its actual operational environment. Key objectives of SAT include:

1. Installation Verification: Confirming that the installation was performed correctly and the equipment is integrated properly into the existing system.
2. Operational Testing: Ensuring that the system or equipment functions as expected in the actual operational conditions.
3. Performance Validation: Verifying that the performance meets the expected criteria and specifications.
4. Final Approval: Providing the final opportunity for the customer to accept the equipment before it becomes operational.
