Constancia de supervisión y visado

Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / Technical report - Argentina
Spanish term or phrase: Constancia de supervisión y visado
Dear Colleagues,

I am doing a review of a technical report translation on the Govt of the Province of Buenos Aires headed paper. There are some references to "supervisión/supervisado" and I am not convinced that this should be translated as "supervision/supervised" in the following contexts (I have also added my suggestions on how these terms could be translated):

1. Referencia: Supervision Dictamen Comite - I think this should be "Review of Committee Opinion"
2. Constancia de supervisión y visado - "Certificate of monitoring and endorsement"
3. El Comité de Ética Central ha supervisado el dictamen emitido por el Comité de Ética en Investigación Centro
de Investigaciones - The CEC has reviewed the opinion issued by..."
4. La presente supervisión no implica evaluación alguna de los criterios éticos considerados por el Comité en la aprobación del estudio. - "This review does not involve any assessment of the ethical criteria considered..."
5. La supervisión de criterios éticos se realiza a través de los procedimientos establecidos por el REGLAMENTO DE SUPERVISION Y FISCALIZACION DE LOS COMITES DE ETICA INSTITUCIONALES del Comité de Ética Central - "The review of ethical criteria is carried out through the procedures set out by the REGULATIONS ON MONITORING AND AUDITING"

I would appreciate your thoughts on this.
Many thanks in advance,

record of scrutiny (review) and sign-off


Explanation:
Constancia in Arg. (proof, *record*, written evidence: West) might have been issued by a non-notarial agency, as opposed to a Certificado issued by a Notary or Scrivener. Query: Commissioner for Oaths > 'in British English, a solicitor authorized to authenticate oaths on sworn statements' (inaccurate as Barristers - capital 'B') are also authorized).

Oversight in BrE means a lapse or failing, so the opposite of the watching brief in AmE.

... ha supervisado el dictamen : has reviewed or scrutinis/zed the opinion ('oversighted' vs. monitored or scrutinised might be problematical in AmE)

Sign-off for visado gets round the (insurance etc.) endorsement vs. (legal writ or BrE: bill of exchange/ AmE: draft) indorsement spelling conundrum. Contrary to UK Notarial opinion, 'indorse/ment' is not a 'quaint English legal spelling'.

Example sentence(s):
  • Progress of Scrutiny records the decisions taken by the NB critics: *UK House of Lords* European Affairs Committee on European documents that have been deposited ...
  • The meaning of WATCHING BRIEF is an act of watching the actions of a person or organization to make sure nothing illegal or wrong is being done.

Asker: Thank you. I agree that "oversight" would not be a suitable translation in this context.

Certificate of monitoring and endorsement


Explanation:
Here are my opinions in American English translations:
1. Referencia: Supervisión Dictamen Comité - I think this should be Review of Committee Opinion
-> I'm not sure about my translation of these three words, did it say "del Comité"? But separately, I would translate them as "Monitoring" "Opinion" "Committee".
2. Constancia de supervisión y visado - Certificate of monitoring and endorsement
-> I agree with your translation.
3. El Comité de Ética Central ha supervisado el dictamen emitido por el Comité de Ética en Investigación Centro de Investigaciones - The CEC has reviewed the opinion issued by...
-> I agree with your translation.
4. La presente supervisión no implica evaluación alguna de los criterios éticos considerados por el Comité en la aprobación del estudio. - This review does not involve any assessment of the ethical criteria considered...
-> I agree with your translation.
-> I would also write it as This review does not imply any evaluation for the ethical criteria considered...
5. La supervisión de criterios éticos se realiza a través de los procedimientos establecidos por el REGLAMENTO DE SUPERVISION Y FISCALIZACION DE LOS COMITES DE ETICA INSTITUCIONALES del Comité de Ética Central
- The review of ethical criteria is carried out through the procedures set out by the REGULATIONS ON MONITORING AND AUDITING
-> This seems fine. I agree with your translation.

Example sentence(s):
  • El Grupo de Supervisión no tiene constancia de que se solicitara una exención al Comité.
  • The Monitoring Group is not aware that an exemption was requested from the Committee.

Asker: Thank you. To me, it just didn't make sense to use literal English translations within the context of this document.
