Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) Process: DeAir and Hoa Viet Company Inspect Equipment Before Delivery

In industrial projects, ensuring that equipment operates exactly as designed before it is installed on-site is a critical factor that saves costs and prevents potential risks. Understanding this, the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) process has become an indispensable step, affirming the professionalism and transparency in every DeAir project.

Recently, DeAir successfully conducted a working and acceptance session with representatives from Hoa Viet Company right at our manufacturing plant, a clear testament to our commitment to quality and close collaboration with our clients.

1. What is FAT and Why Is It Crucial in Industrial Projects?

A Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) is a process where the client, or their technical representatives, directly inspects, verifies, and approves the equipment at the manufacturer's facility before it is shipped to the site. According to the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE), FAT is a critical quality check that helps mitigate project risks.

This process offers invaluable benefits to the client:

• Absolute Peace of Mind: Clients can see and verify firsthand that the equipment is built 100% according to the agreed-upon technical specifications, materials, and standards in the contract.
• Early Detection, Quick Resolution: Any issues, no matter how minor, can be identified and rectified immediately at the factory. This prevents enormous potential costs and project delays that could arise if problems are only discovered after installation.
• Hands-on Experience and Training: It is a golden opportunity for the client's technical team to see the machine in operation, become familiar with it, and receive training on the control system from DeAir's experts.

2. Details of the Acceptance Session with Hoa Viet Company at DeAir's Factory

The acceptance session with Hoa Viet Company was conducted professionally and systematically according to DeAir's quality control procedures, including the main steps:

• Step 1 - Meeting and Specification Review: The session began with both teams sitting down to review all technical documents, design drawings, and comparing the specifications of the industrial dehumidifier with the initial requirements in the contract.
• Step 2 - Visual Inspection and Test Run: Hoa Viet's technical team conducted a detailed inspection of every part of the machine, from the quality of materials and casing finish to the internal components. Afterward, DeAir ran a test load on the machine, allowing the client to directly assess its performance, noise level, and other critical operating parameters.

• Step 3 - Control System Training: An important part of the FAT is training. DeAir's experts provided detailed instructions to the Hoa Viet team on how to operate the system via the HMI screen and how to connect and monitor data remotely through the Building Management System (BMS).

3. From the Factory to the Plant: A Professional Handover Process

After the FAT session concluded successfully and received the client's approval, DeAir's professional process continued:

• Disassembly, Packing, and Transportation: The approved equipment is carefully disassembled by DeAir engineers, packed according to industrial standards, and safely transported to the client's factory.
• On-site Installation and Acceptance (SAT): At the site, DeAir's technical service team will carry out the complete installation. A final test run and acceptance session (Site Acceptance Test - SAT) will be performed to ensure the machine operates effectively in its actual environment before the official handover.

4. DeAir: A Commitment to Quality & Transparency in Every Step

The acceptance session with Hoa Viet Company is a testament to DeAir's commitment. The FAT process is not just a procedure; it is a declaration of product quality, manufacturing transparency, and absolute respect for our clients. All our operations strictly adhere to the ISO 9001:2015 quality management system, ensuring that every unit leaving our factory is a perfect product, ready to deliver optimal efficiency for businesses.

DeAir sincerely thanks Hoa Viet Company for their trust and close cooperation throughout the process. We are committed to continuing to provide the most professional products and services to all our partners and clients.
