Dosage is a word that exists in English, but it is not the testing procedure that is used to chech dosages. A dosage in English is the quantity of active ingredients that is in a medecine. A synonym for dosage in English is \"strength\". For example, a tablet that has a dosage (strength) of 30mg, or another that has a dosage (strength) of 10mg. Assays are translated as \"dosage\" in French, and it is a specific testing method for sampling dosages.

disagree Gayle Wallimann : Dosage would be the strength of the medecine, as you indicate. However, the context here it is a testing method.

Dosage is not used as restrictively in French as it generally is in English. It is used in the pharmaceutical and radiation sense, but it is also (equally) used to describe the automatic filling of bottles (or other containers) with almost any liquid. (I have only seen this use in English in Kompass directories - besides a plant specification translation for a photographic-developer bottling plant I carried out.)
