This Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) checklist helps manufacturers and OEMs validate equipment against specifications before shipment. It guides pre-FAT preparation, hazard identification, safety and ergonomic checks, and defines pass/fail acceptance criteria across startup, safety, control systems, user interface, performance, shutdown, and maintenance. Capture photo evidence, document nonconformities, and assign corrective actions. Attach supporting documents such as calibration certificates, technical drawings, manuals, and training materials, then confirm completion with digital signatures for full traceability.
