Borgingssysteem

English translation: assurance system

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Dutch term or phrase:Borgingssysteem
English translation:assurance system
Entered by: Francina

Dutch to English translations [PRO]
Science - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / anti-doping
Dutch term or phrase: Borgingssysteem
Context: several organizations (sport, antidoping, and the nutritional supplement industry) have entered into a collaboration agreement to set up a 'Security System for Nutritional Supplements in Elite Sport'. They test nutritional supplements, label them, and publish the ingredients on a website, so that athletes can avoid getting positive dope tests from nutritional supplements.
Within this Security System, different organizations are responsible for developing and maintaining a) an information system, b) a communication system, and c) a "borgingssysteem". The latter is the responsibility of the branch organization for nutritional supplements and I assume it refers to the testing, labelling, and guarantee that the tested supplements don't contain doping substances.
I have trouble deciding on a proper term for this - can anyone help me out?

I am going with 'safety assurance system' as this gets quite a few hits on Google, particularly in connection with foods.
Thanks also to Christopher, your suggestion is fine but in the sequence 'information, communication, and xxx system, safety assurance works better.

agree  Deborah do Carmo: I think assurance system might work - assurance = a positive declaration intended to give confidence.
