English term or phrase: guarantee (versus) warranty
For instance, in certain cases, if the guarantees are supposed to cover the potential warranty expenses, (despite the fact that the European manufacturers are booking their own reserves according to generally accepted rules), they can be maintained during the warranty period.

Estamos en un contexto de normas para las licitaciones. En las frases anteriores dice:

It is generally observed that guarantee deposits and retention are used mainly for large risks (new product, introduction of new supplier, fragile or uncertain supplier and so on). Guarantee deposits can also serve as the counterpart of pre-delivery payments. Financial guarantees are not to be maintained after vehicle acceptance, unless the tender invitation expressly states otherwise.
