Russian term or phrase: Фильтрационный пункт
A client is asking for help to complete their glossary, but I am a bit at a loss... normally, I would translate "Фильтрационный пункт" as "Checkpoint" or "Screening Checkpoint" but they already have a screening area and a few checkpoints in their glossary, so it's hard to come up with another term to differentiate the function of this one.

Контрольно-пропускной пункт = Permit Checkpoint (PCP)
Зона досмотра транспортных средств (ЗДТ) = Vehicle Screening Area (VSA)
Мобильный инспекционно-досмотровый комплекс = Mobile Inspection Complex
Удаленный пункт досмотра транспорта и грузов = Remote Checkpoint for Vehicles and Cargo
Фильтрационный пункт = ???

Here are some examples of how they are using it in their documentation: "Для проезда через фильтрационный пункт грузовое т/с должно иметь соответствующее РВСТ и аккредитацию т/с. Досмотр т/с и проверка прав доступа водителя и пассажиров в фильтрационном пункте не проводится. Все т/с не соответствующие требованиям доступа перенаправляются к выезду с территории фильтрационного пункта."

Maybe "Accreditation Checkpoint"? It feels like it basically has the same function as "Контрольно-пропускной пункт = Permit Checkpoint (PCP)", but for the purposes of the glossary needs a different name. Any ideas?
