Training – Machine Acceptance Tests FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) and SAT (Site Acceptance Test)

Training Objective

The objective of the training is to present the process of machine acceptance at the manufacturer’s facility (FAT – Factory Acceptance Test) and the acceptance of machines at the final stage at the Client’s facility (SAT – Site Acceptance Test).

As part of the training, participants will be familiarized with the process of machine evaluation, compliance assessment, testing procedures for machines, and basic requirements of the EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 and its harmonized standards.

Target Audience

This training is dedicated to individuals professionally engaged in the purchase or transfer of machines, modernization of machines, or those participating in the process of preparing specifications for new machines, machine acceptance, and the introduction of machines into operation. This includes technical personnel related to purchasing, process engineers, maintenance managers, purchasing department staff, investment department staff, and personnel responsible for machine acceptance or commissioning in the facility.
