French term

cliché de référence

French to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering Paint systems
This is from specifications for painting aerial sections of pipework:

Here's the context:
"La détermination du degré du soin qui caractérise la qualité de la préparation de surface se fait par comparaison à des clichés de référence édités par Office National d'Homologation des Garanties de Peinture Industrielle et donnés à titre informatif en Annexe de la norme NF EN ISO 8501-1."

Sounds to me like some kind of template or comparison sample...

reference photographs / images

Unless there is any reason to think otherwise, cliché usually refers to a photographic print; in this case, perhaps reproduced in print, and for once, 'image' might be the best solution

Just to clarify: I don't doubt for one instant that these would of course be originally photographic images; but since 'cliché' can have the meaning of an actual photographic print (tirage), I think it's important to acknowledge that in any published document, these are unlikely to still be produced (very expensively!) as tipped-in actual photographic prints.

Note that 'cliché' is also used for 'plate' in the more general printing sense of 'an illustration'.

Thanks, Tony!

agree liz askew : indeed, but they are photographs. Indeed context is everything.

Thanks, Liz! However, they are only photographs in some contexts; I've seen plenty of others where they aren't; all depends if it's part of the specific standard or just some industrial doc.
agree chris collister : I'd be surprised if they were photos: all printers vary, intrinsically and depending on paper and profile, and dye inks fade. Image would be a safer bet.//I shd have said "photographic print". Of course an archival print would originally be a photo

Thanks, Chris! I feel sure they are of course photos, but i doubt it would be logistically feasible to reproduce many copies of them for inclusion in a published standard, for example.
agree kashew : http://www.scribd.com/doc/51351371/UTF-8-ISO-8501-1-2007 confirms it bilingually.
