AUTOMATION SYSTEMS IN THE PROCESS INDUSTRY –
FACTORY ACCEPTANCE TEST (FAT), SITE ACCEPTANCE TEST (SAT),
AND SITE INTEGRATION TEST (SIT)

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

INTRODUCTION
There is an increasing trend in the process industry to shorten the time period for project
execution. At the same time, the complexity of automation systems is being increased due to
the number of connected systems and the use of new technologies, for example, fieldbus
systems.
Experience has shown that the owner, the contractor and the vendor have long and extensive
discussions to unambiguously lay down the scope of activities and responsibilities in order to
achieve a timely delivery and acceptance of automation systems.
This standard is intended to lead to an improvement and acceleration of the negotiation phase
and to a mutual understanding about the scope of activities of each party
The annexes of this standard contain forms which may be used in the test procedures. Buyers
of this standard may copy these forms for their own purposes only in the required amount.

AUTOMATION SYSTEMS IN THE PROCESS INDUSTRY –
FACTORY ACCEPTANCE TEST (FAT), SITE ACCEPTANCE TEST (SAT),
AND SITE INTEGRATION TEST (SIT)



1 Scope
This International Standard defines procedures and specifications for the Factory Acceptance
Test (FAT), the Site Acceptance Test (SAT), and the Site Integration Test (SIT). These tests
are carried out to prove that the automation system is in accordance with the specification.
Engineering and manufacturing activities prior to these tests are not covered by this standard.
For application in the pharmaceutical or other highly specialized industries, additional
guidelines (for example, Good Automated Manufacturing Practice (GAMP)), definitions and
stipulations should apply in accordance with existing standards, for example, for GMP
Compliance 21 CFR (FDA) and the Standard Operating Procedure of the European Medicines
Agency (SOP/INSP/2003).
The description of activities given in this standard can be taken as a guideline and adapted to
the specific requirements of the process, plant or equipment. A typical sequence of activities
and events is shown in Figure 1, and their relationship are shown in Figures 2 and Figure 3.
