product proving process


Explanation:
Based on the order in which these are given, I think this is the correct English word (refers to using them on a company's proving grounds and/or in field trials). The German may be a faulty translation (from a confusion of: to prove oneself = sich bewaehren vs. proving grounds = Erprobungsgelaende)

See: www.dmbmesaprovinggrounds.com/DMBCommunities.html

Just a hunch, hence the low confidence level
