This is in the "Expédition" paragraph of a specification for safety valves (to supply and install them) for use in a gas pipeline, and issued by an Algerian company.
"Pour faciliter les opérations de montage sur site, les pièces de rechange seront colisées en regroupant toutes les pièces correspondantes à un ensemble fonctionnel. chaque colis inclura les références des types du *matériel d'affectation* des pièces." (Spelling & punctuation are as I have written here, except that I have added the "*".)
Does it simply mean that each package shall state which "ensemble fonctionnel" (I'll call this a "functional subsystem" or perhaps "functional assembly") its contents belong to? Maybe "types du matériel d'affectation" is the unit of meaning that requires translation.
Thanks if you can help.

French term (edited):
types du matériel d'affectation
type of equipment to which ... belong
Yes, I think your own interpretation is right: the reference numbers for the types of equipment to which the parts are 'affecté' — i.e. that these parts are for. I'm sure you can find a neater way of phrasing it in EN, of course, but I do believe that is the right meaning.
Discussion
". . . include the references of the equipment types associated with the items."
