Can't figure out SF. The rest of the tests I seem to get, like CCM, CPG KF, but I can't ferret out SF yet. Any direction will be helpful.

SF: semi-finished?
Explanation:
PSF would be pretty common, produit semi-fini >semi-finished product. I've never seen SF like that in a doc but French texts do often lose the noun and use the adjective as a noun so it seems reasonable.
However, no doubt there are other possibilities here.
