DAT
Data Acceptance Test
Definition
A Data Acceptance Test is a formal evaluation to verify that data deliverables meet specified requirements for accuracy, completeness, format, and quality. DATs ensure data products conform to contract specifications and are suitable for their intended purpose.
DAT procedures typically include sampling methodologies, acceptance criteria, and rejection protocols. Understanding DAT requirements helps contractors develop quality assurance processes for data deliverables. Successful DAT completion is often a prerequisite for data delivery approval and associated payments.
