pièces d'approbation

French to English Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks Auto parts
It's about a type of auto parts in terms of quality control (by delivery procedure control I think):

{Pièces d'approbation} : Pièces destinées à faire l'approbation de l'organe. Ces pièces sont homologuées en métallurgie, et sont identiques aux pièces série (produit et process).

I have tried to find an corresponding expression in English by Internet but failed. Is there some friends who can do it? Thanks in advance.

approval parts

In context I should think the meaning would be clear. Assuming, that is, that I have understood correctly that these are "sample" parts submitted to an automotive manufacterer or his inspection authority (l'organe) for approval, on the assumption that all the parts that might subsequently be manufactered by that supplier will be of at least the same high standard of quality.
Note from asker:
Thanks a lot Bourth. You explication match well of the context and most of the documents.
Peer comment(s):

agree Kari Foster : This is the correct meaning; "approval components" might also work

quality control parts

Hello,

Are these parts used to determine if a vehicle's parts are in proper working order (correctly assembled, working properly, etc)? These parts are supposed to detect any malfunction.

I hope this helps.
