Machine ACCEPTANCE Testing
Certify Noise & Vibration Criteria
Before Deployment.
Many manufacturing machines require pre-delivery certification to assure compliance with specified noise and/or vibration specifications. Memtech Acoustics has the in-house expertise to quickly execute any required testing to meet these standards, and to supply complaint documentation as needed.
Certify Before You Operate.
Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and system integrators, typically are required to meet customer-specified noise and vibration criteria prior to delivery. This is intended to assure that the equipment does not exceed the desired noise target for the end-user plant, or that excessive vibration does not cause part quality or reliability concerns.
At Memtech Acoustics, our Machine Run-Off Validation services, FAT (Factory Acceptance Testing), or SAT (Site Acceptance Tests), provide accurate noise and/or vibration certification in compliance with customer specifications. We have worked directly with many OEM’s and end-users, and are familiar with the testing requirements

We test both standalone machines and systems integrated into larger production lines or test cells.
Our Testing Services
We utilize calibrated, NIST-traceable equipment and conform with ISO testing methodologies to assure that the certifications will meet or exceed the end-users specifications.
Sound Level Certification
Measurement of machine noise output under required operating conditions, including long-cycle CNC machine systems.
Sound Power Testing
Using acoustic-intensity methods, we can determine the total sound power of a machine or system, presented in any desired format.
Vibration Certification
We can perform appropriate vibration validation testing, to overall, band-limited, or full spectral requirements. Modal testing is also available.
Remediation Support
In the event that tests fail any element of the specified criteria, we can provide technical support to determine root-causes.
Test Reports and Certificates
Documented test procedures, measurement conditions, compliance evaluations, and pass/fail certifications are supplied for all tests.
Machine ACCEPTANCE testing
Our Approach & Capabilities
Memtech’s run-off testing services span the full spectrum of industrial and automation equipment.
We conduct Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs) for pre-shipment validation, or Site Acceptance Tests (SATs) post-installation, capturing noise levels and vibration profiles.
We then deliver fully documented results, including run-off checklists, acoustic reports, and compliance certifications.

We then deliver fully documented results, including run-off checklists, acoustic reports, and compliance certifications.
Our approach:
- FAT or SAT Execution
Whether at the OEM facility or your site, we replicate real-world operating conditions to test cycles, control functions, and acoustic behavior. - High-Fidelity Noise & Vibration Monitoring
Using Class 1 sound meters and accelerometers, we capture tonal spectra, broadband emissions, and structural resonances throughout run-off. - Performance Mapping & Statistical Validation
We assess equipment stability using metrics like Cpk, Ppk, and measurement system analysis (MSA) to confirm repeatability and quality. - Customization & Collaboration
We integrate run-off plans into your project timeline, coordinate with OEM partners, and adapt tests around your operation readiness. - Turnkey Reporting
Detailed reports validate acoustic/vibration performance, safety adherence, and functional milestones with actionable findings and pass/fail documentation.
Who Needs Machine Runoff Testing?
- OEMs preparing for factory acceptance testing (FAT)
- Integrators certifying systems for end-users
- Manufacturers purchasing new equipment
- Maintenance teams verifying machine upgrades or rebuilds
- Consultants supporting warranty or regulatory compliance

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a machine noise or vibration run-off test?
A run-off is a comprehensive test sequence, defined by the end-user, to assure that equipment meets a specified noise or vibration level prior to delivery.
Why involve acoustic and vibration measurement during run-off?
Noise limits are often specified by end-users to assure that the workplace operates within OSHA-mandated noise levels. Vibration testing assures that machine performance is acceptable for both reliability and part-quality requirements. Vibration testing can identify misalignments, resonances, or structural issues that may affect equipment lifespan, or other operational factors.
Is this testing mandatory?
Testing requirements depend solely on the end-user’s needs, and is not dictated by code.
