optional date
An optional date is given for inspection or testing of the products prior to their being made available for collection. The client or purchaser may or may not exercise his option to inspect on that date. In other words, inspection is not obligatory.

: Imho, but please correct me if I'm wrong, your explanation contradicts your answer; indeed the inspection is optional, not the date.//Perhaps Michael's best option would then be to provide a description of the term-eg the first part of your last sentence.

In my opinion, a native English speaker would simply not say "option date" in this context. As Jack has indicated, that has financial connotations. It means a fixed date on which to carry out the optional inspection, and is awkwardly drafted.
