French term

certificat matière

French to English Bus/Financial Mechanics / Mech Engineering
I know what this thing is but I just don't quite know how to put it in English. I have gone with "certificate of authenticity" unless someone can give me something better:

Context:

Document indiquant les caractéristiques mécaniques et l’analyse chimique du matériau utilisé dans une fourniture. Ce document est délivré par le Service Contrôle Qualité interne du fabriquant du matériau ou par un laboratoire extérieur. Le certificat matière fait partie du passeport qualité de l’équipement ou du matériel qui sera élaboré à partir du matériau.

thx,

thanks Julie!
agree Richard Benham : What else? A "certificate of authenticity" is like something you'd get with an antique, or those papyrus paintings they try to sell you in Cairo.//Cold, wet!
