Bus/Financial - Law: Contract(s) / Building contract call for tender
French term or phrase: faisant foi
Pièces
CCTG, cahier des clauses techniques générales (document **faisant foi** donc pas nécessaire de le mettre)
CCAG, cahier des clauses administratives générales (document **faisant foi** donc pas nécessaire de le mettre)

I know what the term means in general, but I can't see what it means here. This was right at the end of the document in the list of "Pièces générales". "Assumed to be provided"?

authoritative
Explanation:
There is little context here. However, I believe the "document" mentioned is the one containing the list. This says that becaue the document is authoritative, the declaration in the list is proof enough, and there is no need to actually attach the CCTG and CCAG.
