English translation:acceptance runs
Explanation:
I would surmise that this is meant here, there are some hits for guarantee runs on google but generally on German (translated to English) sites such as e.g. Lurgi

calls under guarantee


Explanation:
I've had this a number of times, and I think this is the same again.

It's a service trip undertaken by a mechanic to answer a call from the customer while the plant is still under guarantee, and thus will not have to be paid for - not in full, anyway, depending on the exact terms of the guarantee.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks David but as I said it's got nothing to do with trips, call-outs or the like; I take it as 'run' in the context of installation, commissioning and approval of machinery.
