Dutch to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Food & Drink / audit reports; HACCP
Dutch term or phrase: R&O; RO (context: HACCP, audit reports)
Context:

My text (an audit report) is Belgian, but I don't think this is a specifically Flemish term.

->

"(...) opvolging R&O, analyses, wateranalyses, interne en externe audits, ...."

"(adm. en R&O)."

"De R&O wordt uitgevoerd door een externe firma (XXX professional cleaning) een andere externe firma doet de reiniging van de buitenzijde van de vrachtwagens."

"Aparte ruimte met lekbakken voor de opslag van de chemicaliën voor de R&O."

"Er is een R&O procedure (Haccp-2/15)."

"Doseerders voor de R&O producten werden gecalibreerd door de externe consultant dmv van massabalans op basis van de dichtheid van het product (...)"

etc
------------------

Has someone come across R&O (or RO), in the context of audits/audit reports and HACCP procedures?

Alvast bedankt!
