Abkürzung "Abl."

English translation: Filing

German term or phrase: Abkürzung "Abl."
This is from a Swiss document from the 1980s.
It is a stability test for a vaccine.
The abbreviation appears in the list of people to whom the report is being sent.

"Abl. Schweiz"

Later on in the document I also have "Abl. Vers." and "Abl. Charge"

I am thinking along the lines that this might refer to a file/folder where the report will be filed, but I can't think what the Abl. actually stands for....

Explanation:
I think it might mean "Ablage". That would make sense in the context.
