French term or phrase: Bureaux des opérations
This term appears on the 'Page d'enregistrement' of a document relating to the authentication of recycled paper and the manufacturing thereof.


"ARCHIVAGE
BUREAUX DES OPERATIONS"

I'm sure there is a set English translated of 'bureau des opérations' but I can't remember what it is and can't find where I entered it 'safely' in my glossaries. Also, I can't decide whether the 'archivage' is to be read alone or whether the phrase is actually 'archivage bureaux des opérations'. As I said, this appears on a 'page d'enregistrement' with no other context.

Can anyone help me please?

Many TIA

Place-of-work archiving


Explanation:
Is what I imagine it means, or "Archiving (in the offices) at the place of work". There may well be another level of partial or duplicate archiving at head office, etc.

But it can still be:
Archiving (on one line)
Offices at site of operations (on another).

Implying that there might be another heading:
Archiving
Regional management offices

Or
Archiving
National head office
