English to Arabic translations [PRO]
Marketing - Food & Dairy / Product Label

English term or phrase: e

Net weight: 1 Kg e

In Arabic counteries , I think we translate "e" as approximately
الوزن الصافي: 1 كجم تقريباً

When I search for the "e" I found that it indicates so many infomation, how to express this informaton in only one word?

May I only say: مطابق معايير التقييم؟ ؟
or only مطابق

Remind that label always has too limitd area

The estimated sign (℮) is a mark required to be appended to the nominal mass or volume printed on prepackaged goods for sale within the European Union. It certifies that the actual contents of the package comply with specified criteria for estimation:

* the average quantity of product in a batch of prepackages shall not be less than the nominal quantity stated on the label;
* the proportion of prepackages having a negative error greater than the tolerable negative error shall be sufficiently small for batches of prepackages to satisfy the requirements of the official reference test as specified in legislation;
* no prepackage having a negative error greater than twice the tolerable negative error may bear the estimated sign.

The tolerable negative error is related to the nominal quantity and varies between 9% on prepackages nominally 50 g or mL or less, to 1.5% on packages nominally 1 kg or L or more. The tolerable error decreases as nominal quantity increases, and is done by alternating intervals where there is a fixed error (and thus over the interval the percentage error decreases) with intervals where there is a percentage error.

The estimated sign looks like a lower-case "e" and its shape is precisely defined by an EU directive. This sign has been added to the Unicode list of characters, just as the symbol for the euro has been, and can be considered a new basic character in a typeface. It is character U+212E (℮).
