SAT or Site Acceptance Test is carried out at the buyer’s premises (plant, pipeline, platform or any other end user’s location) to ascertain the performance of the systems and equipment. The buyer’s team in association with the seller’s or original equipment manufacturer’s specialists would undertake the test, as per the standard test procedure.
All the parameters, at the maximum permissible operational range, would be evaluated during the process. This system verification has been a vital part of delivery and handing over. The manufacturer should assume the responsibility to resolve the technical glitches or functional limitations observed during the test.
In case of any variance in the system parameters from what was promised or improper operation, the customer may not sign the acceptance report. The seller will have to make good the anomalies reported vide applicable “Punch Point List” for formal sign off of the SAT Certificate and handover for Buyer’s/ End User’s operations team.
Similar to SAT, there’s another test named FAT or Factory Acceptance Test. As the name indicates, FAT is done at the factory premises itself after manufacturing and assembly. The test would be conducted by the manufacturer to analyse the condition and functioning of the systems before delivering them to the customer’s site.
The FAT may be performed in the presence of the buyer or without. The Quality Assurance team would be monitoring the complete testing and confirming the system functionality.
Site Acceptance Test (SAT) is a mandatory requirement for assuring the customer of the readiness of the system. The testing also eliminates the possibility of complaints from the buyer, on lacunae observed. The manufacturer’s team can obtain a signed certificate from the buyer’s representative regarding the functioning of the system.
The perfect SAT would need a set of laid down processes that are to be complied with properly. Only authorized, qualified, members should engage in the system testing. Regardless of the system being a new installation (green field) or an addition/integration to an existing system (brown field), the team should be prepared to handle any kind of issue.
Once the SAT is completed satisfactorily, the manufacturer’s/ Seller’s representative should perform the following:
The compliance of SAT, as explained here, would be beneficial for both manufacturer and buyer.
