Dutch term or phrase: rekenwaarde
I am translating an insurance document, but I think this term may be used in various other contexts also.

Rekenwaarde
De `rekenwaarde` van een materiaalsterkte (bijvoorbeeld de betondruksterkte, de elasticiteitsmodulus) is de karakteristieke sterkte van dat materiaal gedeeld door een partiële veiligheidsfactor γ (groter dan één). Deze factor houdt o.m. rekening met het feit dat de sterkte een lagere waarde kan aannemen dan de karakteristieke waarde

Can someone help me out with this?
