Prevention of Microbial Contamination
Hello
This word has me stumped as it can mean more than one thing.
This occurs under the heading "Gap Analysis" in relation to procedures for the prevention of microbial contamination.
Derniers exercises de QP environnementale conformes: XXXXXXX
Anomalies des controles environnementaux microbiologiques ponctuelles documentées et investigées donnant lieu a des actions correctives.
[there should be a circumflex on the "o" of controles, and a grave accent on "a...des actions".
Thank you!

Note from asker:
| Hi I have found another reference and think they may be talking about "point contamination", what do you think? http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cache:za2cQT2QNY0J:www.proz.com/kudoz/french_to_english/nuclear_eng_sci/1578608-sonde_%C3%9F_par_frottis.html+contamination+ponctuelle+point&cd=11&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk&lr=lang_en |

If it is "ponctuelles" the feminine adjective can only refer to anomalies, "contrôles" is masculine.

whether qualifying "contrôles" (should there be a mistake) or "anomalies", this will work here

I don't sense any notion of regularity or recurrence in "ponctuel" - being the opposite of routine.

it is very often used to mean "non routine" "from time to time" "here and there" which can be perfectly well translated by "random"
