Norwegian term or phrase: Hjelpetakst
Skjemaet har denne setningen:

Skadetype: HJELPETAKST/SERVICET

Er ikke helt sikker på hvordan jeg skal oversette "HJELPETAKST" med.
Det er mulig at "SERVICET" er forkortet fra "SERVICETAKST" (Service Estimate?).

Explanation:
As you may know, "hjelpe-" is sometimes used as a prefix for remedial measures, e.g., in "hjelpemidler". What you have here is a form that provides for listing either a repair estimate or a service estimate, depending on the appraisal to be done. See the link for a use of "hjelpetakst" for the example sentence.

I will admit, I am not on firm ground with this translation. I cannot reference you to any texts, so I think Charles Ek has the better translation.
