prest

English translation: service OR item

Tech/Engineering / uranium storage
French term or phrase: prest
This abbreviation appears at the end of a test result report on the testing of uranium storage containers. I assume it stands for prestation, but I still don't know how that should be translated in this context:

English translation:service OR item
Explanation:
I am convinced your guess of 'prestation' must be correct, and I wonder if it is simply referring to a certain item on the previously-mentioned list --- a list of services to be provided / monitored etc. --- or perhaps in this case, 'reported on'?

Although in French 'prestation' doesn't seem out of place, I suspect in a similar context in English I would simply have put 'item'

HTH !
