English term or phrase: manufacturing/production batch VS batch
This document is requesting a mobile phone company to provide the "model, date and production batch (or manufacturing batch)" details of some IMEI numbers for phones.

If I just used "batch" would that be enough? I am not sure wether we can use "production" and "manufacturing" before batch in English, and if this is just one of those repetitive things found in latin languages.

manufacturing/production batch
Explanation:
I would leave it as it is, since, according to Webster, a batch is 'a number of things ... taken as a group' so you certainly can be more specific as to what sort of batch it refers to

Asker: Batch is the term used here, I just don't know whether to use "batch" on its own, or "production batch". Thanks anyway.
