French term

analyse non-contradictoire

French to English Tech/Engineering Manufacturing report on broken bolts for insurance purposes
"Les premières analyses, effectuées de façon non-contradictoire par le Laboratoire National d'Essais sur deux boulons, mettent en exergue..." this that and the other.

Would this be a consistency analysis? Or what? Thanks very much.

Susan Gastaldi (asker) Feb 5, 2009:
contradictoire The glossary has been checked. In this context, contradictoire would probably be cross-analysis. This does not mean that non-contradictoire is non-cross-analysis. Hence my question.
writeaway Feb 5, 2009:
The glossary should be checked for contradictoire It is really worth checking the Kudoz glossary. There are a lot of discussions about 'contradictoire'. There is no need to just guess and/or wonder about the meaning. Analyse should be there too.

independent assessment

The following applies to car insurance, but I assume it would be similar in your example

Article 14 : Principe de contradiction
1. Il peut être demandé à l'Expert de procéder de façon non contradictoire. Il doit en ce cas veiller à respecter les règles de conduite énoncées à l'article 11, 12, 13 du présent Code.
2. Lorsqu'il est demandé à l'Expert de procéder de façon contradictoire, il doit veiller à ce que toutes les parties aient un accès non discriminatoire aux déclarations et pièces recueillies par l'Expert dans l'exercice de sa mission, et doit veiller à ce que chacune des parties puisse formuler ses observations dans un délai raisonnable. Il doit motiver son refus lorsqu’il décide de ne pas les retenir dans ses conclusions.

It seems clear that 'contradictoire' has the meaning of all the parties having access to the data and able to comment on them and that non-contradictoire is the reverse in the sense that the analysis is undertaken independently with no input from any other party.

What this is called in insurance parlance I am less sure about however, hence my 'low' confidence.
