equipment commissioning
Explanation:
Depends on context, and at what stage it takes place.

Also note that a verb expression may be more suitable in EN, instead of a noun as in FR — hence why context is so important!

Note that 'equipment' is most often uncountable in EN.

agree  MatthewLaSon: commissioning of equipment

  -> Thanks, Matthew!
neutral  rkillings: commission v. is ambiguous: it can mean either to order/authorize production OR to bring into working order (Concise Oxford). Wouldn't the latter be preferable?

  -> I don't think so, Bob; in my field, we regularly talk about 'commissioning' equipment; only reports and works of art are really 'commissioned', other things are generally 'ordered' etc.
