Machine Factory Acceptance Test Checklist

Use this working checklist to record a proposed factory acceptance test, not to certify a machine that has not been tested. Agree the procedure, participants and acceptance criteria for the particular configuration before the demonstration. Do not attempt a hazardous fault simulation or bypass a protection device; specialist testing belongs with appropriately qualified personnel and the applicable documented procedure.

Test record ID and revision: Date and location: Supplier and reviewer: Machine model and serial number: Hardware, software and option versions: Order or proposal reference: Approved test procedure and exclusions:

Identify the products, packaging, ingredients or consumables used in the test and explain whether they represent the intended site supplies. Record the setup conditions and any differences from the planned installation. Mark an untested product or condition as unresolved rather than extending a result from a different sample.

Sample ID and description: Dimensions, weight or relevant specification: Loading or preparation arrangement: Utility and network conditions recorded: Difference from intended site conditions: Supporting photograph or document reference:

Define the start and successful end of the customer task. Record the planned and completed observations without inventing a universal pass-rate target. For vending, inspect release, collection and product condition. For service or preparation equipment, record the agreed output and completion indicators.

Test case ID: Expected result and acceptance criterion: Number of cycles agreed / observed: Actual result: Product or output condition: Evidence reference: Outcome: pass / fail / not tested / not applicable:

Use the agreed payment test arrangement and avoid recording payment-card credentials. Distinguish machine completion from payment-provider status. Include relevant interruptions only through a documented, safe test method agreed with the supplier, and record cases that could not be demonstrated.

Payment or access method: Transaction test reference: Machine completion result: Payment status observed: Exception case and approved test method: Customer and operator indication: Recovery or refund responsibility: Unresolved dependency:

Ask the supplier to demonstrate the routine loading, cleaning and service access included in the agreed scope. Confirm which activities belong to the operator and which require a technician. Record the manuals, drawings, account access and training material actually supplied; do not treat a promised document as already received.

Routine task demonstrated: Required operator or technician role: Manual and drawing versions received: Account and export access reviewed: Consumables and spare-parts references: Training or handover item outstanding:

Keep every failed, incomplete or changed test tied to its evidence and owner. Agree the required correction and retest rather than deleting an unsuccessful result. Factory observations do not replace the installation and commissioning checks required at the destination site.

Exception ID and description: Responsible party: Agreed correction and target date: Retest result and evidence: Remaining site checks: Acceptance decision and authorised reviewer: Date and referenced agreement:

Discuss the category and required test scope on WhatsApp. Completion of this checklist is a record of agreed observations, not a general safety certification, warranty extension or automatic authorisation to ship.
