The analysis results are satisfactory
Thread Content
Original: After the analysis results are qualified. Translation: After the sampling results is qualified. I feel that \"qualified\" isn’t the right term, but I can’t think of a suitable alternative. The original sentence means that once the analysis results are satisfactory, the process operations can proceed
Once the sampling results are within specifications, the non-conforming products are those that are off specification
When the analysis results meet the specification.
After the analysis result is qualified: if the analysis result meets the requirement...

It also depends on what follows after it. This is clearly a conditional adverbial in Chinese; in English, it can be expressed as a subordinate clause or an adverbial phrase. So it’s best to provide more details. I’m trying to find the most appropriate version. For now, I can only suggest a concise option: a subordinate clause, such as “When the results of the analysis are qualified” (literal translation: When the analysis results meet the requirements); or an adverbial phrase, such as “After the analytic results are qualified” (literal translation: After the analysis results satisfy the criteria)
When the analysis result is qualified, then one can proceed to say the following. This sentence means what to do after the analysis result is qualified, rather than translating it literally as \"when it is qualified.\" Using \"qualified\" seems better – it implies that the result is satisfactory or adequate.
Should \"analysis result\" be changed to \"analytic result\"? The former is a noun attribute and cannot be used as an attributive; I think it’s more appropriate to use an adjective instead
