Factory Acceptance Test (FAT)
Ensure proven quality and compliance of your purchased equipment with our factory acceptance tests
As owner or operator of industrial facilities, successful and effective production depends on equipment that runs smoothly. Equipment has to meet quoted or contractually guaranteed specifications prior to delivery and final installation. Our factory acceptance testing services provide verification that all technical and quality requirements have been met before a component leaves the factory.
As an independent verification and certification company, we support your project or manufacturing process with extensive services along the supply chain. We ensure design specifications and prove the quality of your ordered equipment and components.

Our factory acceptance testing services offer extensive solutions to ensure the quality and compliance with specifications and contractual requirements for equipment and components. Make sure that your equipment or plant performs as expected under a full range of foreseeable conditions and avoid costly contractual penalties if you are a manufacturer or project downtimes if you are an operator.
Factory acceptance testing: Our contribution to your success
TÜV Rheinland experts offer manufacturers, EPC contractors, owners and operators a wide range of factory acceptance testing services including:
- Check for completeness

Services for proof of functionality
We use conventional function tests or simulation as part of a factory acceptance test to prove that your plant, its systems and its components meet contractual requirements. This includes the verification of documents such as manuals, plans, drawings as well as piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs).
