SAT
Site Acceptance Test
What it actually means
Acceptance testing performed after installation at the operational site, proving the system works in place — with real facility power, real interfaces, real environment — before the customer signs for it. The complement of the factory acceptance test; what passed FAT can still fail SAT, and that gap is integration reality.
Where you'll meet it
Delivery and commissioning of installed systems, from ground stations to industrial plants.
