French term or phrase: les titres ne sont pas imposés.
le tableau est donné à titre indicatif, la liste n’est pas exhaustive et peut être complétée, les titres ne sont pas imposés.

Part of a ANNUAL UPDATE OF PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES : A report on pharmaceutical companies referred to in article R. 5124-2, sections 1 to 15 of the Public Health Code.

The phrase is simple enough but I'm struggling to find an equivalent to the final part : les titres ne sont pas imposés.
The table in the report has no headings, which is what I understood 'titre' to be. Any suggestions anyone?

Explanation:
Is this the document you're translating?
http://www.sante.gouv.fr/fichiers/bo/2007/07-01/a0010040.htm

In that document, each time that "les titres ne sont pas imposés" appears, it refers to the table heading "opérations." It seems to mean that although a given pharma company has to account for the kind of activities or operations indicated in the various tables, they can use their own internal names or titles for these activities or operations.

That would fit with the first part of the note, as well.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi thanks for your quick reply. I actually had "Column headings are not required" but it just doesn't seem to make sense in the context of the table on the page. I thought I was missing something but maybe not! :-)

However this can only refer to chemical solutions, not to pharmaceutical companies. If it's companies, then "titre" probably means "title". "Titres" can also mean "stocks and bonds", i.e "securities". .

agree  philgoddard: yes, it lookslike the asker is translating this or a similar document. You might need to say "names of operations" rather than just "names".
3 hrs
  -> Thanks, philgoddard. I agree that adding "of operations" could be useful.

agree  Simon Mac: Your reference is very helpful! In effect it means "the operation names shown are just examples".

the headings (headers) are suggestions and may be changed


Explanation:
Hello

I try to forget the question sometimes, visualise what I need to translate and see what crosses my mind

Firstly, columns have headings and Excel has headers.

Secondly, turning the sentence around into the positive (suggestion) sounds less harsh than the restrictive approach.
