SATSatisfactory Acceptance Test / Quality Inspection
A further independent quality and performance inspection when justified by the applicable assessment findings and requirements.
Service overview
Independent assessment. Evidence-based decisions.
SAT may address functional and performance assessment, relevant load testing or measurements, verification of pending PAT observations, and applicable safety or operational tests. The actual activities depend on the agreed scope and available evidence.
TCSP-01 Rev.1 • T-02. The applicable scope, requirements, engineering authority and deliverables must be confirmed before engagement. Approved technical documents remain authoritative.
Potential scope areas
What the assessment may cover
The exact activities depend on the applicable requirements, available evidence and confirmed engagement scope.
Verification and testing
Assess relevant pending PAT observations and applicable safety or operational tests, measurements or load testing where included in scope.
Quality findings
Document findings and follow-up requirements. SCI or DLA may be recommended where the applicable findings justify further review.
Prerequisites and scope
Before this service proceeds
PAT is a prerequisite for SAT. SAT is not automatically required for every lift. Its applicability depends on the findings and the approved triggers in the relevant technical documents.
Engineering pathway
The next step depends on findings
SAT follows PAT where justified. Standards deviations may lead to consideration of SCI; ageing or lifecycle concerns may lead to consideration of DLA, subject to the approved requirements.

Frequently asked questions
Is SAT required for every lift?
No. SAT is not automatically required for every lift. Its applicability depends on PAT findings and the relevant approved triggers.
Can SAT be requested directly?
A customer may submit an enquiry, but the PAT prerequisite and applicable engineering review must be considered before SAT can be approved for activation.
What if standards deviations are identified?
SCI may be recommended where the applicable findings justify a standards compliance assessment under the relevant approved requirements.
Separate continuing service
DGS — Digital Governance System
DGS supports asset and engineering history, maintenance and callback traceability, operational observations, governance reporting and trends. It is a separate continuing service—not the next stage after DLA—and does not replace maintenance, statutory inspections or professional engineering judgement. The OEM, AMC or responsible maintenance agency retains responsibility for maintenance diagnosis, prioritisation and corrective action.
