Japanese term

エンジン適合工程

Japanese to English Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks
In this document I have, I thought about several different words to use for 適合, like consistency, matching, conformance, conformity, etc. But none of them seemed right. The document is about engine development.

So I found the information below online. According to the online information, in this case 適合 is the name of a process. I think that's why none of the words I had seemed to fit.

Whatever word I use, it has to also apply to these contexts:
自動適合ツール
ベンチ適合
従来のエンジン適合はエンジンベンチ適合と実車適合がメイン。

Is anyone familiar with the エンジン適合 process, and know what this should be called? I appreciate your help.

(Explanations of the 適合 process I found online are below.)
自動車開発の新しい流れ~定常適合⇒過渡適合
現在開発を進めているNew Bench systemは、**主にエンジンのECU開発における「適合」と呼ばれるプロセスで使用する事を目的としています。**
ECUは、自動車のエンジン等をコンピュータ制御する電子制御装置であり、例えばエンジンにおいては、吸入する空気量にあわせて燃料噴射量を制御したり、圧縮された混合気を燃焼させるための点火タイミングを制御していますが、**適合とは様々な速度やトルクを想定したエンジン制御テストを繰り返す事で、ECUがエンジンを最適に制御できるようチューニングするプロセスを指します。**
適合を行うためには、従来は速度や負荷が一定の状態で数百パターンの計測を行い(定常計測)、各テストごとに得られたデータをもとにECUのチューニングを行っていました(定常適合)。しかし、環境問題や開発競争の激化から、より様々なケースを想定してテストを行う事が必要となってきており、適合プロセスに膨大な時間と労力がかかるようになってきました。

Discussion

I just completed translation of engine ECU for the biggest JP automotive company. In Japanese engineering, tuning=調整・調節、calibration=校正. In engineering term, calibration is based on national or international standards of a simple physical unit in measuring instruments e.g. length, time, weight, volume. Tuning is similar to calibration but no national or international standards are available [ISO/IEC definition]. Engine is a complex unit where tons of calibrations are required. Engine tuning is acceptable. But ingeneral, calibration and tuning are done in auto repair shops, not auto manufacturing plants. This is why TEKIGO KOTEI is not only calibration and tuning. Of course, one big JP automotive maker does not obey the ISO/IEC/TS standards and its TEKIGO is beyond our discusssion in engineering and quality management terms.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks, everyone, for your help. I tried various searches on Google using the terms everyone suggested, and when I searched for [エンジン適合 calibration], it gave the most relevant results that seemed to confirm that this is the correct term. I can also use it in all the contexts that I need to, so I’ve used “calibration”."
