English term (edited):
megga testing [error for 'Megger']
Selected
contrôle au Megger / contrôle d'isolation
Normally, this would be an electrical service, I don't know if that's appropriate inyour context?
A 'Megger' (R) is a test instrument, classically used to make insualtion resistance measurements, though it does actually often have additional functions too.
This sort of testing is needed as part of routine checking, and also, of course, for new or modified installations.

Megger is a proprietary name (AFAIK), but is pretty clearly derived from 'meg(a)-ohm-meter', which has given rise to all sorts of variant spellings by us engineers who use it as part of our everyday jargon, but aren't necessarily all linguistic pedants like me!

Thanks, Mactrad! Yes, it is so often used verbally, the homonym error is understandable, and some people seem to think it avoids the fact that 'Megger' is a proprietary name.
