PERFORMANCE VERIFIED

FAT witnessing

An independent witness attends the factory acceptance test, observes the agreed test sequence and records the results against your technical requirements.

ANATOMY OF AN ASSIGNMENT

FAT procedure and acceptance limits · Equipment data sheets and test schedule · Available test records and instrument details

INSPECTION FOCUS

A closer look at the scope.

See performance proven, before equipment goes into operation.

Approved test procedure review

WHAT YOU TAKE AWAY

A clear record. An informed next step.

A witness record connecting the agreed test scope with the results observed at the manufacturer’s facility.

Witness record
REPORT OUTLINE

From observation to a clear record.

Summary for project review

The record brings together the findings for the responsible project team.

Illustrative structure, not an issued inspection report. Content and deliverables are agreed per assignment.

A few details, clarified.

Is FAT the same as testing after installation?

No. FAT takes place before delivery at the manufacturer’s facility. Site conditions, installation and commissioning may require separate tests agreed by the project team.

How do I arrange an inspection?

Send the equipment description, supplier location, required dates and available technical documents. The team can then review scope and availability before confirming an assignment.

References & technical context

Company information follows Sanka’s published scope. Technical references provide context, not a claim of certification. The applicable standard, edition and scope are agreed for each project.
