Russian term or phrase: издано под грифом ВОЗ
Как перевести "ПОД ГРИФОМ" в этом случае? Странное использование "грифа", но надо выходить из положения. Документ этот открытый, т.е. nonclassified.

Cпасибо заранее.

Explanation:
One meaning of гриф (see ref.) is "штемпель с изображением подписи" = "signature stamp" but we wouldn't say "under the signature stamp" in English, I think "under the imprint" is the phrase that would be used. The Latin word "imprimatur" is sometimes also used in English in this context, but not often.

disagree  Irene Chernenko: In this case it could refer only to a letter or text on a page with the WHO logo. Letterhead is just the official paper.

  -> And if no logo & just printed letters? What then? Thanx for the attention paid anyway.
