all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of

INTRODUCTION
There is an increasing trend in the process industry to shorten the time period for project
execution. At the same time, the complexity of automation systems is being increased due to
the number of connected systems and the use of new technologies, for example, fieldbus
systems.
Experience has shown that the owner, the contractor and the vendor have long and extensive
discussions to unambiguously lay down the scope of activities and responsibilities in order to
achieve a timely delivery and acceptance of automation systems.
This standard should lead to an improvement and acceleration of the negotiation phase and to
a mutual understanding about the scope of activities of each party
The annexes of this standard contain forms which may be used in the test procedures. Buyers
of this standard may copy these forms for their own purposes only in the required amount.
For application in the pharmaceutical or other highly specialized industries, additional
guidelines (for example, Good Automated Manufacturing Practice (GAMP)), definitions and
stipulations should apply in accordance with existing standards, for example, for GMP
Compliance 21 CFR (FDA) and the Standard Operating Procedure of the European Medicines
Agency (SOP/INSP/2003).

5.1 General
The FAT shall be performed by the vendor. The buyer should witness the test activities. There
may be buyers who want to carry out some parts of the FAT themselves. This has to be laid
down on a project-related basis.
The FAT shall comprise the following areas:
– project-relevant scope of supply;
– application-related functions of the automation system from signal source;
– system-related functions;
– adequate infrastructure shall be provided by vendor.
The FAT shall be conducted using the checklists given in Annex A.
With respect to the specification, any incomplete work or nonconformances detected during
the FAT shall be recorded on a punch list (Annex H).
Punch items will be categorized as follows:
• to be cleared on the spot, FAT to continue after rectification;
• on-going rectification during FAT;
• FAT to be repeated;
• modifications to be made after FAT, before the system is shipped to the site;
• remaining work to be rectified, i.e. at site.
The FAT shall be considered complete when the vendor has successfully proven all
necessary functions according to the FAT procedures and specifications, with the exception of
the mutually agreed remaining punch-list items.
Upon successful completion of the FAT, authorized representatives of the buyer and the
vendor shall sign the FAT certificate (for an example, see Annex D).

out.
The following scenario is customary.
• Forcing of rack/remote I/O by means of simulation devices hooked up at I/O modules.
The scenarios listed below depend upon contract/specification requirements.
• Forcing of I/O by means of SW simulation on processor level.
• Forcing of I/O by means of SW simulation on the I/O modules.
• Forcing of I/O by means of simulation devices hooked up at field terminals (thus test
inclusive marshalling, process interface (Ex), cross-wiring, system cabling, and I/O
modules).
5.3.1.2 Bus interfaces
A generic test shall be carried out for each specified type of field device which is compliant to
the relevant standard. This test shall cover the interoperability of the automation system and
the device.
• One segment shall be built up and tested with all associated devices linked to it. Selection
of the segment shall be mutually agreed upon.
• In the case of distributed control functionality, all concerned segments shall be tested.
• Signals related to segments not built up shall be simulated.
• All relevant documents, data sheets, figures (load, cycle time, architecture) shall be
reviewed for all segments.
5.3.1.3 Subsystem connection
The following scenario is customary.
The test of the link itself and selected loops should be performed by means of a subsystem
simulation device. The value of the signal is forced/monitored in the simulation
device/automation system. The specified architecture, for example, redundancy, medium of
link, for example, glass-fibre or copper cable connection, etc. should be provided as far as
practicable.
Other scenarios such as listed below depend upon contract/specification requirements.
• Subsystem is emulated in the automation system; the signals are forced/monitored in the
automation system.
• Subsystem with limited configuration (processor and link devices only) are available to
check real communication and the signals are simulated in the subsystem.
