Use this Factory Acceptance Test checklist to verify industrial equipment is safe, hygienic, and ready for dispatch. The template guides teams through Health and Safety checks such as guarding, emergency stops, control placement, and clear warnings. Hygiene prompts cover cleanability, water sensitivity, material grades, coatings, and food contact considerations specific to food manufacturing. Operations steps confirm demonstrations with product, agreed test conditions, performance targets, and acceptance decisions aligned to UK regulations. Engineering and Technical checks include availability of documentation and spares, safety circuits and energy isolation, certificates, calibration records, lubricants, and any statutory inspections. Capture defects, agree a remediation timetable with the supplier, and record final sign off across safety, hygiene, technical, engineering, and production. Ideal for commissioning new machinery and validating compliance before site installation.
