Concrete products "triangle" mark of approval
I think, in a translation, you have to provide something that can be read. Maybe the first used could be accompanied by the Danish term in parenthesis.

Betonvarekontrollen mark/BVK mark
This mark is unique to the Danish organization that sponsors its use. They don't provide an English translation of their web site materials referring to the mark (see reference link below.)
Accordingly, I would use the full name + "mark" and then use the abbreviation + "mark" thereafter. You might consider incorporating "triangle" or "triangular" between them, if you think it's useful for your purpose.
