nutritional claims
This is from an article on nutritional supplements labelling. I would like to know how you would translate 'accessibilité' here:
"Dans sa enquete, l'agence souhaitait disposer d’informations sur les points suivants :
- la pertinence en termes de santé publique de telles allégations ;
- la révision des données disponibles permettant de définir au mieux la notion de « constituents» ;
- les résultats de ***l’accessibilité*** à ces allégations nutritionnelles pour les produits référencés selon les différentes propositions formulées..."
All suggestions are welcomed.

comprehension/understanding
of the claims by the consumer. Otherwise "accessibility" doesn't make much sense to me, especially if the claims are written on the packaging!
Obviously some sort of evaluation, hence the "résultats".
This might be useful:

"accessibilité" and "intelligibilité" go hand in hand.

Comment: "I want to thank all of you for your input. I used a completely different term, given the overall context of the entire document. The word 'qualification' was needed in place of accessibilité here because these are products that must qualify to bear the label making a nutrition claim. It may not have been possible to glean that from the limited context I provided. The link that SJLD furnished confirms it and was helpful. "
