Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT Clause Samples
The Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) clause defines the procedures and requirements for testing equipment or systems at the manufacturer's facility before delivery to the buyer. Typically, this clause outlines the scope of testing, the standards to be met, and the roles of both parties during the inspection process. For example, it may specify that the buyer or their representative can witness the tests and that successful completion is required before shipment. The core function of this clause is to ensure that the equipment meets contractual specifications and performance criteria prior to delivery, thereby reducing the risk of defects or non-conformance after installation.
