Explanation:
Hi Deborah,

Firstly, well done and thanks to Taña for the note added. That's a very good reference.

My own suggestion is based on the following research:

1. The system is referred to as the Spanish RN in the minutes of a meeting of the International Technical Committee of the Offshore Racing Congress ("World Leader in Rating Technology" in their own words), when speaking of "national handicap systems". See:
http://www.orc.org/minutes/ITC 2006.pdf

2. The IX Trofero de S.M. La Reina translated the term simply as "RN Measurement Certificate":
http://www.trofeoreina.com/webi/notice.pdf

Therefore, you might feel RN Measurement Certificate is enough,
or you might want to be more explicit:
Spanish RN Measurement Certificate

Or further still:

Spanish national handicap system RN Measurement Certificate (which would IMHO be too long-winded).

Good luck!

Álvaro :O) :O)
