Dutch term or phrase: Nulbeurt
[2] nulbeurt (conditiemeting van de ACU’s);
In de nulbeurt wordt een conditiemeting uitgevoerd per airco unit. Dit levert een scherp beeld op van de technische kwaliteit van de install base. XXX [company] zal een heldere rapportage opleveren, inclusief adviezen.

On the whole, the document is not particularly technical, and if it were I would probably translate this as conductance/impedance test. I am looking for a more general translation. I'm thinking of using 'performance test', but perhaps someone out there has a better suggestion? TIA
