recette pour la réception
""L’ensemble des documents émis pendant cette phase est réuni par l’entreprise fournisseur du lot dans un dossier et remis au maître d’œuvre. Ce dossier contient notamment :
Le rapport complet sur les essais et contrôles effectués,
Les rapports et/ou avis du (des) bureau(x) de contrôle éventuel(s),
Les rapports de visite ou avis du maître d’œuvre ou du maître d’ouvrage,
Le certificat de conformité de l’installation.
La remise de ces documents est un préalable à la **recette pour la réception** des installations."
For me "recette" and "réception" both mean "acceptance" in this context.
I'm rather tired so I might be missing a trick here. :)
Could anybody please shed light on this for me?
Many thanks.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
acceptance / handover
'réception' means the final handover, once all the problems have been sorted out; in this sense, it is close to 'delivery', as used in other fields, or the notion of 'goods inwards'.
Do note, however, that these terms are sometimes used wrongly in FR, when used alone, people get them confused, and when used together, sometimes even reverse them completely! So you may need to be guided by the logic of your text as well!

Thanks, B! Yes, absolutely! Clearly, there is a whole other level of detail, but I didn't feel it was appropriate to go into that here until the basic concepts were set out.

acceptance testing vs acceptance
validation/verification process for (final) acceptance (or rejection)
I think you undergo a verification/validation process before actual "acceptance"
recette = verification/validation process
réception = actual acceptance

I hope this helps.
acceptance for turnover
Dans le BTP, la réception des travaux correspond à l'acte juridique correspondant au moment où le maître de l'ouvrage prend possession de la prestation réalisée dans le contrat passé avec le prestataire. Notamment, dans le cas de contrat de travaux, la réception correspond au moment où la responsabilité de la construction passe des entreprises au maître de l'ouvrage, marquant la fin de la phase de travaux et le début des différentes périodes de garantie.
