acceptance meeting
Explanation:
Regardless of whether the parties negotiated, discussed, told jokes or drank champagne, the simple term for this in English, particularly when it takes place on a single day rather than lasting several several days or weeks, is an acceptance meeting.

handover meeting

Explanation:
...I agree that's what the German says, but isn't it usually referred to as a handover meeting in English? See web references re context.

neutral Bob Kerns: Once the engineers (and maybe lawyers) have declared acceptance there may well be a handover meeting (with the bosses) at a later stage. The chances of champagne at a handover meeting are much higher than at an acceptance meeting :-)

  -> I hear what you are saying, but the sentence says it was signed off at this meeting, and the start of the warranty period was back-dated to an ealier date...sounds like cause for celebration to me!
