German term or phrase: Eintrittsinspektion
Aus einem Schweizer Wartungsvertrag, IT-Bereich:

"Der Wartungsvertrag beginnt am vereinbarten Termin, frühestens aber mit fertiggestellter Installation der Geräte oder nach erfolgter Eintrittsinspektion."

Habe beim Kunden wegen der Eintrittsinspektion nachgefragt: Seine Antwort:
Mit „Eintrittsinspektion“ ist Bestandsaufnahme inkl. technischer Prüfung gemeint. Wenn sich ein Neukunde inkl. seinem ganzen „Grümpel“ sich bei uns mittels
Wartungsvertrag absichern möchte, machen wir eine Eintrittsinspektion, um sicherzustellen, dass er keine Leichen versteckt hat, die uns dann das Leben schwer machen.

Kann ich für Eintrittsinspektion "acceptance inspection" verwenden?

It seems very like the "acceptance testing" described for medical equipment in the reference.

contract coverage inspection


Explanation:
From what your customer said it is clear that the aim of this inspection is to determine what is included and what is not included in the maintenance contract (no hidden problem areas), i.e. what equipment is covered and what is not covered, even what equipment condition is covered and what cannot be covered by the contract - this solution seems closest to the basic idea of an "Eintrittsinspektion"
