AFME PED-04 FAT, SAT and Commissioning Assurance Toolkit
A controlled route from completed design to safe, hygienic and capable production. It separates Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), commissioning, product and process validation and formal production release, so each stage has clear evidence and a clear sign-off.
What is included
- AFME-PED04-NTE-001 FAT, SAT and Commissioning Assurance - Resource Notes (PDF) - AFME-PED04-TOOL-001 FAT, SAT and Commissioning Assurance Toolkit (editable Excel) with test protocols, deviation log, readiness checks and dashboard - AFME-PED04-GDE-001 Engineer's Guide to FAT, SAT and Commissioning (PDF), with a worked example
Who this resource is for
Project engineers, commissioning leads, controls and automation engineers, maintenance teams, and technical and food safety staff involved in testing and releasing new equipment, lines, utilities, refrigeration or inspection systems.
How to use this resource
1. Agree FAT protocols, test methods, product and acceptance criteria before the FAT date. 2. Record every failed or incomplete test and decide whether it blocks shipment. 3. Check site readiness (foundations, utilities, access, hygiene containment) before delivery. 4. Work through SAT, dry and wet commissioning and validation, then release to production only with signed evidence.
