Assays
Explanation:
An assay is an analysis of the amount of a certain substance in a metal/chemical, and can also mean an analysis of impurities of a chemical or metal (i.e. gold, ore, etc.).

Thus, the certificate requested in this sense would prove that the \"ensaye\" (assay) has been done, and would state the results.
