French term or phrase: planche type "bristol"
Hello

This is about quality control of labels used in the transportation of vaccines.

Préparation des étiquettes:

Prélever 100 étiquettes sur 17 rouleaux en identifiant les rouleaux (si la quantité est inférieure a 17 rouleaux, effectuer le prélevement sur tous les rouleaux).

Coller les étiquettes sur une planche type "bristol".

Numéroter les étiquettes de 1 a 100.

Placer la planche d'etiquettes dans le sac aluminium.

Thank you!
