Factory Acceptance Test (FAT)
For expertly carried out FATs, call 01634 729 690.
For our clients, acquiring robust air handling units is fundamental to both ECE and the end user’s success. Simply purchasing our equipment without understanding the product just isn’t enough. Guaranteeing the equipment’s functionality, efficiency, and safety provides a proactive approach, where due diligence reigns supreme. This is where the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) steps in, acting as a critical checkpoint before your Air Handling Unit leaves our factory floor.
Essentially, a FAT is a series of thorough tests conducted by ECE at our facility, before the equipment gets delivered to your site. It comprises comprehensive quality checks, simulating operating conditions and testing for potential failures. This proactive approach identifies problems before they become teething issues, saving you time, money, and frustration.
To understand the benefit of a FAT, get in touch with our expert team. You’ll receive a fully bespoke solution from our professional engineers. Call 01634 729 690, email sales@eceuk.com, or fill out our contact form to get started.

Once your Air Handling Unit is manufactured, our engineers complete a series of checks and assessments on your unit. This verifies the components and installation matches your design, that the unit is configured correct, and meets specifications such as HTM03:01, VDI6022, BS EN1866 and Building Bulletin 101.
Our team will test fan rotation and vibration, complete an air tightness test, volume against pressure test, a filter DOP test, and a point-to-point electrical test. They’ll also provide training for your site engineers on how to change motors, filters, and remove the door guard safely. Completing a FAT will assure you that your new air handling unit is safe to use and will operate as specified.
As part of the FAT you’ll be provided documentation known as the FAT Protocol, this outlines the procedures to be used during the test and all preparations that need to be made before it.
Further documentation and test procedures completed during a FAT are listed below:
After a successful FAT, a Site Acceptance Test (SAT) is performed at the customer’s site. The purpose of the SAT is to ensure that the air handling unit has been properly installed and commissioned and ready for operation.
The benefits of a SAT are similar to that of a FAT. A SAT provides Realtime Quality Verification and Quality Satisfaction for the client. The SAT increases customer satisfaction by ensuring that the AHU performs as the customer’s requirements.
After the SAT is completed, a report is prepared that summarises the test results and provides a final evaluation.
