BASF’s largest new construction project in China, the Zhanjiang Verbund Site Project (ZVSP), requires high personnel
and time expenditures for tests, especially Factory Acceptance Test (FAT), Integration Factory Acceptance Test (IFAT)
and loop tests. To reduce these efforts, BASF has opted for the HIMA Smart Safety Test, integral part of SILworX®,

HIMA’s engineering, diagnostics and test tool which enables a flexible, automated test concept over the entire life cycle
of a safety system.

The FAT and IFAT for the first segments of the plant was carried out traditionally. After the manual execution, it became

clear that a new way needed to be followed in order to meet the high-ranking project objectives and to increase
efficiency. This, amongst other aspects is born by the complexity of the start and stop sequences to be tested.

So, the decision was made to automate future tests with the HIMA Smart Safety Test. By doing so, fully testing of all

static functions as well as the sequences got automatically tested and the test evidence got created and documented
automatically.
