What Is a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) and Why ALLA Runs One Before Delivery
A Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) is the control and inspection of goods at the factory before delivery to the customer. Products are checked and inspected so they meet production standards in every process. ALLA Public Company Limited, a manufacturer committed to international-standard quality, runs FAT as part of its delivery process.
FAT versus on-site testing
| Test | Where | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Factory Acceptance Test | At the factory | Confirm the product meets production standards before it leaves |
| Pre-handover test | At the customer’s site | Confirm the installed system is ready for use |
