Dutch term or phrase: onderschrijding

This logically means the opposite of "to exceed" / "exceeding". But all I can find in terms of translation is "underspending", which I doubt applies in this context. See "2.3% onderschrijdingskans" below:

Als representatieve waarden voor staalsoorten met mechanische eigenschappen die voldoen aan de voorwaar den van 7.1.3, moeten zijn aangehouden de gespecificeerde waarden van de (onderste) vloeigrens en de treksterkte met een 2,3%-onderschrijdingskans bij de betreffende materiaaldikte, bepaald bij een betrouwbaarheidsniveau van 75 %.
