Deutsch term

Autorenaufsicht

Deutsch > Englisch Wirtschaft/Finanzwesen Bauwesen/Hochbau/Tiefbau construction contract
The term appears in a general contractors contract for the construction of a plant. The contractor must ensure the Autorenaufsicht of the work carried out on the project

It is clear what is meant, there is even a definition of it in the contract (provided below). I am currently using work supervision, but this does not at all get at the idea of supervising the authenticity of work. Is there a rough equivalent in English, either with or without authenticity? I have a little room to work with in that the word first appears in a list of definitions for terms used in the contract, so my (your) term can be explained and then used later with this meaning.

First:
AUTORENAUFSICHT: Aufsicht durch die im Rahmen des Bauprojekts beauftragten Architekten oder Unternehmen zur Überwachung der authentischen Umsetzung ihrer Projekte.

Later:
Der Unternehmer gewährleistet die Autorenaufsicht innerhalb der Projektausführung.

Many thanks for your replies!

Henry, according to your research, Leonid was 'more right' than I, so I wouldn't mind to sign my kudoz over to him. You would have to notify one of the moderators, Allison or Marcus, to help you with this. At any rate, have a great day, until next time!

Further Explanation after Answers Indeed, I have done a little more research, including a search for the exact term in Russian (see comment to answer below), and it seems as if Leonid's response may be even more accurate. Multitrans.ru translates the Russian equivalent of Autorenaufsicht, also avtorsky nadzop, als: Kontrolle der Bauausf�hrung durch den Projektanten; �berwachung der Bauausf�hrung durch den Projektanten. The provided English translations of this term are: designer supervision, Authorial Supervision, field development audit (in the context of oil and gas), field supervision, author supervision. All of these seem to me a little cumbersome and awkward, but I am not an engineer or a technician...

I also found 'auctorial control' on Google.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "More or less. Thanks. I ended up deriving my choice of authenticity control from your recommendation. The German is derived, I believe, from a common concern in Russian contracts (it was a contract with an ex-Soviet republic), that of authenticity, i.e. that the work and materials are authentic. In Russian it is called an avtorsky nadzor (Autorenaufsicht). Thanks again, Henry"
