traduction français vers anglais [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Construction / génie civil / Parts which must be labeled by a Contractor
Terme ou expression en français : rétentions
ARTICLE 0.6 - REPERAGE ET SIGNALISATION

L'ensemble des matériels des installations électriques et méchaniques doit être repéré (câbles, tuyauterie, organes de manoeuvre et de signalisation, prises, appareillage émetteurs et récepteurs directement connectés, etc. )

Les **rétentions** sont également repérées.

Chaque local est repéré par une plaque fixé sur la porte d'entrée.

I can't think of what rétentions might be that needs labelling. Any help appreciated :)

spare cables
Explication :
Pure guesswork, but the context suggests that this might be referring to spare cables (in particular) placed to cater for any future additions. It is easier and less expensive to lay spare cables when a building is first built than to try and fit them later.

Then again, and maybe more probably, it refers to cable ties etc. This would provide a means of locating a PLACE on a cable run.
