Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) is conducted by LLOYDS at the manufacturer\u2019s facility prior to shipment to verify that elevator, escalator, or travellator equipment has been manufactured in accordance with approved technical specifications, project requirements, and applicable international standards. During the FAT process, LLOYDS inspectors review manufacturing documentation, verify equipment identification, and witness functional tests of critical systems such as the traction machine, motor, brake system, control panels, safety devices, door mechanisms, and other essential operational components.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Factory Acceptance Testing by LLOYDS provides independent third-party verification that equipment meets project specifications and safety requirements before shipment. This process helps identify manufacturing defects early, reduces installation risks at site, prevents costly project delays, ensures quality and compliance with international standards, and provides confidence to clients, contractors, and regulatory authorities that the equipment has been properly tested and verified prior to delivery.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
