Factory acceptance test
FAT checks can include bottle transfer, rinse function, controls, safety features and sample output before shipment.
Site acceptance test
SAT confirms that the installed machine works with conveyors, utilities, filler infeed and site operating conditions.
Bottle samples and changeover
Testing should include agreed bottle sizes and any critical changeover points, not just one easy container.
Handover documents
Settings, maintenance points, cleaning routines and recommended spare parts should be reviewed before sign-off.
