Spanish term

USP vv

Spanish to English Science Manufacturing
Hi All,

I am currently translating Mexican datasheets regarding products used for animal consumption and have come across the above in a table regarding the properties of a type of mineral oil.

It features under the heading "Metodo de Referencia".

Any assistance confirming whether this is a translatable acronym, or whether it can be left as is would be much appreciated.

Best regards,

Darren

When two letters are repeated like that in Spanish, it often works as a plural.

USP vv

I'm not entirely sure what "vv" means but I think it's a placeholder for the particular version of the particular USP standard involved and that it can be left as it is.

USP is already English and will stay the same: it stands for US Pharmacopoeial Convention reference standards:
