Acceptance Testing Guidelines
6.2 Acceptance Test Procedure
An acceptance test procedure should include, as a minimum:
• A general description of the procedure based on system specifications.
• The clearly defined purpose, scope and objectives of the test to meet system requirements.
• A schedule showing the daily activities during the acceptance test.
• A section documenting the personnel who were present during the test or who conducted
the testing.
• A list of the test equipment and instruments required to conduct the test.
• Detailed instructions to follow during the test, including a process data map for the FAT.
• A method to document the hardware identifiers (model number, serial number) and the
revision level of the software and firmware to be tested.
Go to the checklist in Section 6.6 Acceptance Test Procedure Checklist for guidance when
developing an acceptance test procedure.
6.3 Acceptance Test Tools
Table 6-1 lists tools and their function commonly used during acceptance tests. Incorporate these
tools for a FAT or SAT, as needed.

6.4 Prepare for Acceptance Testing
Follow these guidelines to prepare for acceptance testing:
• Personnel meet all site-specific safety requirements.
• A minimum of two hardcopy sets of the acceptance testing procedure are on site.
• The associated drawings are current and readily available.
• A laptop with a fully licensed, latest version of OMNICONNECT is on site.
• The site has met the following requirements and is ready for testing:
− A power source is available, and its voltage matches the equipment requirements.
− Utilities are available, if needed (water, compressed air, steam, etc.)
− Communications devices, such as an Ethernet or internet connections, phone lines and
radio links are available, if needed.
− Tools are calibrated according to specifications.
• A mechanical inspection of the cabinet, rack or enclosure that houses the flow computer has
