Discuss results against the same agreed criteria
FAT commonly refers to factory acceptance testing and SAT to site acceptance testing; the project's contract and procedures define the actual scope. Provide the approved test plan, specifications and terminology. Tolerances, speeds and trial conditions must retain their units and qualifications. Authorised technical personnel decide whether the equipment meets the criteria.
Illustrative scenario
Illustrative scenario: a machine reaches target speed during a short run but has not completed the required test period. The interpretation must not turn reaching speed into completing all acceptance checks. The record separates completed and outstanding tests.

Preparation checklist
- Supply current test procedures, acceptance criteria and report templates.
- Read back decision-critical figures, units and equipment codes.
- Distinguish agreed results, corrections and retest dates.
Practical coordination advice
Book written translation of the final report separately if it is required after the session.
How to evaluate the service
The record identifies what was tested and the conditions still outstanding.
Frequently asked question
Can the interpreter sign in place of the acceptance engineer?
These roles should not be confused. Technical approval belongs to personnel authorised by the project.
