A formal test conducted at the installation site to verify that equipment or systems satisfy specified operational and acceptance requirements.
A Site Acceptance Test (SAT) is a structured verification process performed after equipment or systems have been installed to demonstrate that they operate correctly within their intended operating environment and satisfy the specified functional, performance and acceptance requirements. SAT confirms successful installation before commissioning or operational use.
Site Acceptance Testing verifies that installed equipment and systems operate correctly under actual site conditions before being placed into service.
Site Acceptance Testing typically follows Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and confirms that transportation, installation and integration have not adversely affected system performance.
Site Acceptance Testing verifies installed equipment under actual operating conditions, whereas Factory Acceptance Testing verifies equipment before shipment from the manufacturer.
