French term or phrase: vanne ACS
"Accessoires :
- Piquage 3/4 '' inox 316L avec tuyau 1 m alimentaire et vanne ACS
- 2 pattes de fixation (possiblitié sur-mesure)
- [...]"

I am almost completely sure that this means "Access Control System valve", see

but wanted to check.

As the title says, it used in wine production so it is part of the 'food' application: 'Tech/Engineering - Vins / œnologie / viticulture / Products: Vessies d’inertage de cuves de stockage'

Many thanks Lorraine, and thanks to all. My -- somewhat awkward, perhaps, in retrospect -- rendering was "equipped with... a food-contact compliant pipe and also with a compliant valve".

The solution does garner a decent amount of matches, though:

ACS valve


Explanation:
I came to the same conclusion via a different route. Lexivin gives butterfly valve for vanne-papillon.

disagree  Lorraine Dubuc: Attestation de Conformité Sanitaire is a standard for food purposes. Tuyau 1m 'alimentaire'. The title says it all. It is used in a 'food' application so there is no ambiguity to me that ACS means 'Attestation de conformité sanitaire'.

  -> ACS also = "Adaptive Control System", which seems more likely to me

Asker: Thanks, but I'm discounting this answer on a probability basis: it is unlikely that a French company would have to source such products as far away as Canada, where ACS valves are based.

Notes to answerer
Asker: But why, then, the repetition: "alimentaire" (fit for use with food) and then "ACS"?

neutral  Carol Gullidge: this is a wine question, so it would seem very odd (though not impossible!) that they'd feel the need to specify that the valves comply with food standards when of course it goes without saying that this applies to ALL the equipment (tubes, vats, etc..)
1 hr
  -> Why so? It is very usual to find specifications in a product description.
agree  philgoddard: Yes, if you Google "Vanne ACS" + "attestation", this is clearly the answer. However, I'm not sure people will know what SCC stands for.
2 hrs
  -> SSC (Sanitary Compliance Certificate) is described right besides ACS. Thank you Philgoddard!
agree  Lori Cirefice
8 hrs
  -> Thank you Lori!
