English term or phrase: does not measure up to standard
Inspections may reveal that the cooperation between the National Authorities and the inspectors does not measure up to standards.

j'avais mis "ne se conforme pas aux normes" mais j'ai un gros doute. En revanche "n'est pas à la mesure des normes" ne me semble pas non plus juste.

ne se fait pas dans les normes


Explanation:
...que la coopération entre les autorités nationales et les inspecteurs ne se fait pas dans les normes (établies)

One might also say "ne fait pas l'affaire" but this is more the case for private business.

How about "n'est pas au niveau", which sounds a little more "diplomatic"., considering there are not any formal "exigences" in this field.
