Acceptance/handover
Explanation:
Ernst: Abnahme -> acceptance; "handover" is what was used in an ME company I used to work for. When industrial equipment is delivered and installed, the customer must officially accept it before he'll pay the final amt. This process generally entails testing to verify that the machine performs as specified.
