APPENDIX 1 – SAT PLAN
The SAT Plan serves as a checklist to "sign-off" each of the tests as they are completed. After a test has been satisfactorily completed, the person responsible for the test will sign and date the appropriate section of the document. This signed document will provide the basis for the acceptance of the Site Acceptance Test.
The SAT will consist of the following categories of testing as defined by subsequent sections in this document.
Section 4 Visual System Inspection
Section 5 System Hardware Testing
Section 6 FAT Untestable Items
1. MANAGEMENT AND REPORTING
All test activities will be managed by Vendor's Site Manager or his designated representative, whose primary role is to monitor progress and manage test activities such that all tests are completed within the planned schedule.
Contractor will be responsible for maintaining a record of the test in specific forms designed for the test. It is expected that Contractor and Saudi Aramco representatives will endorse their signatures on the test reports for documented proof of test activities.
If the test is interrupted for any reason that portion of the test may be re-run, in whole or part, subject to agreement by Contractor and Saudi Aramco.
2. RECORDING AND RESOLVING EXCEPTIONS
A document called "Exception Item List" contains sheets that allow the recording and resolution of any exceptions encountered during testing. This document is considered part of the SAT records.
Each exception reported is classified as one of the following types of defects:
 PJ - Project issue
 PD - Product issue
 DC - Design Change
Each exception reported is further classified into one of the following resolution categories:
 Type 1 - Exception must be corrected before SAT can continue.
 Type 2 - Exception must be corrected before SAT completion.
 Type 3 - Exception will be corrected before Final Acceptance.
 Type 4 - Exception noted for resolution later by CONTRACTOR and Saudi Aramco.

3. ACCEPTANCE
SAT shall be considered successful and completed when Contractor has demonstrated and Saudi Aramco has accepted all functions stated in the test document. At that time there should be no outstanding type 1 or type 2 exceptions. However, a list of outstanding type 3 or 4 action items may be included on a formal Exception Item List, together with a schedule for their resolution.
4. VISUAL SYSTEM INSPECTION
The purpose of this section of the test is to ensure that all of the required system components are installed per the documents and are free of defects.
This section is intended for an engineering review and that a certified Quality Assurance inspection has been performed. This section may be eliminated or minimized as deemed by the project team.
