Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) is a crucial phase in the commissioning of boilers and other industrial equipment. It serves to ensure that the equipment meets the required specifications and functions correctly before being shipped to the site for installation. This document outlines the key aspects and procedures involved in conducting a FAT for boilers, providing a comprehensive guide to ensure a thorough and effective testing process.

The primary purpose of the FAT for boilers is to validate that the boiler and its associated components are designed, manufactured, and operating according to the agreed specifications and standards. This includes verifying mechanical, electrical, and control system functionality. The scope of the FAT covers all necessary tests and inspections to confirm that the boiler is ready for installation and commissioning at the operational site.
