español term

Presencia de identificación

español al inglés Técnico/Ingeniería Manufactura Quality Control
The context is a table of procedures for the various stages of a manufacturing process in Mexican Spanish. The entry is in the 'Process' column and the related 'Measurement Technique' is a 'visual inspection', referring to the inspection of a machine.

A Google search produces around 2,000 results but I can't find any reference to an English equivalent. I thought it might mean something along the lines of 'witnessed identification' but that I think that would be 'identificación de presencia' in Spanish. US english preferred. Any help would be appreciated.

Check = verification?

@helena, @neil Yes, I think you could both be right. It would certainly make sense. I don't know what the full description would be in Spanish - although fairly formal, there's not a lot of space and the text has been abbreviated considerably.
Helena Chavarria Jun 6, 2014:
It sounds as though it refers to whether or not the machine, product... bears an ID plate or another sort of identification (product number, series number, etc.). 'Presencia' very often means something is present, i.e. it's there.

Could it mean "provided identification"? Just an idea...

ID check

Just seen your previous question stating it's a moulding machine. I'm guessing it's a check (visual inspection) to make sure the identifying marks/serial numbers/symbols etc are present on the part or device in question.

So, they'd be checking for the presence of identifying marks.
Note from asker:
Thanks for that. I think you're on the right track. Although that's how I imagine it gets called on the shop floor, I don't know if i can get away with 'ID check' as it's a fairly formal document.
Peer comment(s):

agree Helena Chavarria : Yes, I immediately thought of 'ID/identification checking' (because it's under the 'process' heading): ID checking process. But I didn't have enough confidence to post it as an answer ;)
