Appendix 1 – Factory Acceptance Test Procedures and Reporting

1. Introduction
This document is the FAT Procedure to inspect and verify the functionality of the Medium Gas Metering Skid and associated control panel built under (Indicate BI number) to be located in (Indicate location). This document contains detailed test procedures with associated lists, tables and a buyer’s comment and sign off area in order to verify and document that each test has been carried out successfully and in accordance with the buyer’s specification (FSD).
This procedure has been submitted for buyer’s review and approval. FAT shall be performed against this document in the presence of the buyer or the buyer’s nominated representatives.
Any divergence from the agreed requirement of FSD shall be formally advised to the buyer such that revision of the requirement may be agreed and the FSD and this document are altered accordingly.

1.1 Scope
All instruments calibration shall be verified during FAT and shall be wired to the control panel and a functional test is carried out by simulating process conditions at the field instruments and the results are recorded on Test Record Sheets.
Metering Tests shall be conducted with the field I/O connected to the flow computer and reports shall be validated against commercial AGA 8 software.
A set of master documentation (Master FAT), drawings and ISS (data sheets) shall be made available for the FAT (refer to Section 1.3). Discrepancies shall be recorded on the Punch List and any document/drawing changes shall be marked in the “Master FAT” copy for incorporation to the documents that shall be made available at the SAT.

1.2 Test Overview
The FAT shall begin with a full review of the system and documentation followed by the inspection of the skid, the verification of the calibration of the field instruments and loop checks and finally the configuration of the flow computer.
A daily review shall be carried out discussing the day’s test agenda and the previous day’s test activities and issues. The test shall follow a structured plan according to this document.

Any test failures shall be fully documented and discussed at the daily review. Failures shall be evaluated and prioritized according to impact on both further system testing and test schedule time frame. Test schedule shall be modified to continue testing on the unaffected part of the system. Low priority failures which cannot be rectified immediately and do not prevent further testing shall be revisited at the end of the scheduled test period. Every effort shall be made to rectify high priority failures and retest as soon as they have been resolved.
