Cleanroom installations

FAT proves the vendor build against the URS before shipment. SAT confirms the same criteria after installation; IQ and OQ build on that evidence.

FAQ

Questions we hear first.

How long do FAT, SAT and commissioning take?

It depends on vendor readiness and equipment complexity. A clear acceptance pack shortens both and avoids re-testing.

On site or remote?

Criteria and protocols are written remotely. FAT witnessing, SAT and commissioning are on site in Switzerland and Germany.

What do you need from us?

URS, risk assessment, the vendor's FAT plan, equipment specifications and your target acceptance criteria.

Do you sign an NDA, and who owns the results?

Yes. Techkrates signs your NDA before the first technical details, and the designs, documents and data made for your project belong to you.

In which language are the documents?

German or English, in your templates and your document numbering.

Send two or three lines about the device and what you need.

An engineer answers within 24 hours. At a fixed price per task or from CHF 950 per day.
