French to English translations [PRO] Science - Science (general) / colours
French term or phrase:changement de millésime
CONTEXT:
"Il faut faire attention à la répétabilité et à la stabilité de ces référentiels ainsi qu’au changement de millésime."
(talking about colour reference charts, the "référentiels").
Explanation: Chances are the colour charts change if not every year (millésime), then from time to time. I imagine they want to make sure that the colours as printed do not change over time (stabilité) and remain representative of what you get out of the can. This would also be an issue if they reprint the charts some time later (répétabilité) or if, when they change their colour scheme in 200n, some of the colours of the previous 200n-x edition are retained.

Explanation: millésime is not just used to designate a production year of wines, it is also used to name a model year for cars for example. Extending this to paints (if you have colour reference charts what else could you be talking about), "production batch seems the proper term.
