Factory acceptance testing (FAT) and pre-shipment inspection

Nothing we ship leaves China before it has run. Every machine and line goes through a factory acceptance test against a checklist agreed in your contract, with your parts or cells where possible. You attend in Wuhan or watch live on video, and the balance payment is tied to a passed test. Catalogue products get a pre-shipment inspection against your specification.

How it runs

How acceptance works

  1. 01

    Checklist in the contract

    Output, quality, safety and documents, agreed before the build starts.

  2. 02

    Notice

    You get the test date and a draft protocol ahead of time.

  3. 03

    Run

    The machine or line runs to the checklist while you watch.

  4. 04

    Sign off

    Signed report, or a fix list and a re-test.

  5. 05

    Ship

    Crated only after sign-off; balance payment as agreed.

What if the machine fails the test?

We fix it and test again before anything ships. Nothing is crated until the checklist is signed.

Can a third-party inspector attend?

Yes. Your own engineers or an inspection company you appoint are welcome at the test.
