German term or phrase: [...], obwohl dies zu 80% die Güte des Analysenergebnisses darstellt

A list of common errors in relation to water treatment systems for removing microbiological contamination from process water used for manufacturing cosmetics.

• Probennahmeventile sind nicht vorhanden, oder wenn, dann am falschen Platz. Sehr oft sind sie noch aus Kunststoff oder Gusseisen und nicht aus Edelstahl 316L. Das innere Design der Ventile ist nicht hygienisch. Eine korrekte Musterentnahme ist damit nicht möglich, obwohl dies zu 80% die Güte des Analysenergebnisses darstellt.

I've got as far as 'It is therefore not possible to correctly take samples,' in the last sentence but just can't seem to get my head around the idea of 'dies zu 80% die Güte des Analysenergebnisses darstellt'.
A literal translation as 'although this represents 80% of the quality of the analysis result' doesn't seem to mean anything. Any better ideas?
