German term or phrase: Nachvollziehbarkeit
Context:

"Keine Nachvollziehbarkeit gegeben."

In the "Wirksamkeit Simulation" column of a risk analysis table which generally specifies the mode of testing used to verify that the safety precautions taken to mitigate a risk are effective. I expect that "None" or "No test" might suffice, even if it over-simplifies matters a bit.
