German term or phrase: Ansprache (Kontext s.o.)
aus einem Untersuchungsbericht zur Zusammensetzung des Materials eines Staudamms heißt es:

In mineralogischen Untersuchungen am Institut für Mineralogie und Lagerstättenlehre wurden zahlreiche Einzelstücke untersucht, die aus drei Mischproben vom Dammfuß und von der Berme stammten. Neben der sorgfältigen *Ansprache* wurden umfangreiche Analysen durchgeführt.

Es gibt mehrere Stellen, wo diese Art Ansprache vorkommt: z.B.

classification (by visual inspection)
Explanation:
Although I tend to agree with Armorel, I think that "classification (by visual inspection)" would be more accurate here - the samples are (visually) classified with respect to their mineral composition/constituents.

"Characterisation" would be another option.

agree  Kay Barbara: NB: "by visual inspection" should not be used, as "Ansprache" may also involve the use of hydrochloric acid (to test for calcite) in the field. Maybe use "in the field" instead (maybe checking with client) since this is what "Ansprache" tells me...
