Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) Witnessing
Independent witness testing, protocol review, functional verification, and punch list resolution before equipment leaves the manufacturer.
Verification Before Factory Gate Release
Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) is the final quality gate before custom machinery, electrical control skids, or structural packages are packed and shipped. Discovering functional errors or non-compliances after international shipment causes severe project delays, costly site rework, and warranty friction.
Structive provides qualified technical personnel close to the manufacturing point to witness FAT procedures, verify operational performance against contract drawings and standards, and report defects before factory gate sign-off.
