Spanish term or phrase: PRUEBA DE ENGRAPADO, FIJACIÓN Y SELLADO DE ELEMENTOS MÓVILES DE CHAPA

This is about testing an auto part or some manufaturing process, but I can't get a grasp on what chapa is in this context. It's from Spain, and the rest of the doc is legal contract stuff so I got stuck here.

Sorry, I left out the "moviles" part. Which in this case could be "mobile" or "movable", so it should en up something like:
"STAPLING, ADHESION/FIXING/FIXATION (etc) AND SEALING TRIAL/TEST FOR MOBILE/MOVABLE BODYWORK ELEMENTS"

...or bodywork if it's for a vehicle, but the context doesn't specify whether it is a process test or part of the actual fitting process.
