French to English translations [PRO]
Science - Agriculture / slaughterhouse

French term or phrase: contrôle

This term is ALL over this text, which is about testing slaughterhouses for E. coli and Salmonella, and I just want to make sure I'm translating it correctly.

Here are a couple of examples:

Points particulières à verifier par les services officials de contrôle

Surveillance des points critiques par des procédures de contrôle

Les enregistrements peuvent être mis à jour par informatique si des contrôles appropriés sont effectués pour s’assurer de l’integrité des données informatiques.

Le contrôle d’hygiène s’evalue à partir des 13 derniers resultants obtenus

I think the first 2 examples can be translated by "control services" and "control procedures" but I'm kind of stuck on the last 2. Would "testing" or "evaluation" be better?

TIA

contrôle control

Explanation:
Check out the Canadian Food Inspection Agency website, which has loads of information, in French and English, on this very topic. I found one document right away, using Google Advanced Search and entered www.inspection.gc.ca as the search domain, specifically,the site below. Just toggle to English on the menu at the top.

contrôle appropriate measures/hygiene evaluation

You don't need to translate word for word :-)

...if appropriate measures are taken to ensure...

The hygiene evaluation is based on the 13 most recent results.

As Bourth rightly points out, "inspection" is a good solution for the first two examples, although you will often see "sanitation control" or "hygiene control" procedures. Official sanitation/hygiene inspection services.
