I bow to your experience, Chris!
chris collister Dec 18, 2010:
Having just translated well over 100k worrds of procedural and manufacturing stuff, I know that phrases like "in conformity", "compliant" and "inspection" are preferred.
claude-andrew Dec 18, 2010:
Sorry to "steal" your "inspection" Chris!
Tony M Dec 17, 2010:
dimensionnel is an adjective here, qualifying 'contrôle'; it is the 'contrôle' that is 'conforme'

satisfactory dimensional check

satisfactory visual and dimensional checks

'satisfactory' in this particular instance meaning not just 'OK', but 'satisfying' the given specification etc.

French term (edited): dimensionnel conforme

(visual and/or) dimensional (inspection) in conformity/compliance

There are bits of the "key phrase" missing, but the adjective "conforme" applies to the noun "contrôle".
Some companies prefer "compliance", some "conformity", so take your pick.
Note from asker:
Yes, I agree it should be inspection

French term (edited): dimensionnel conforme

proper dimensions

Perhaps it means that, in addition to verifying quantity and labeling and doing a visual check, sometimes ("et/ou") measurements are taken to verify size, as per PFAB-06.

satisfactory dimensional inspection

In an industrial production context, "inspection" is more usual than "check", though both are acceptable

neutral cc in nyc : Thank you for the Indian source; nice to know where this terminology comes from.

neutral chris collister : Yes, but I think a stronger word than "satisfactory" is required: "in conformity" would be my choice for a management-speak type of document
