French term or phrase: violé
A la réception de la machine, vérifier que celle-ci n'a pas été endommagée lors du transport et qu'aucun élément interne n'a été violé ni retiré. S'il apparaît que la machine est endommagé ou qu'il manque des pièces, avertir immédiatement le transporteur et le fabricant, en fournissant des éléments photographiques.

In this sort of context, 'violer' often refers to 'tampering' of some kind (you should find this in the glossary) — cf. terms like 'inviolable'.
