It is from an official document. The term and a number is placed on the side and is most likely a ref number. However, just want to be sure this is teh correct translation. Thank you:o)

reference number

Norstedts Stora Svensk-Engelska Ordbok gives the translation 'designation' for 'beteckning', but in this context I think it is too vague. Designation of what? (I'm no big fan of Norstedts Stora Svensk-Engelska Ordbok, btw...The English-Swedish one is brilliant, though.) Ref. no. is also a standard phrase in English that everyone will understand and I think it covers the meaning well in this case (without having seen the whole context, mind).

Thanks:o) It is a regular document and the term and the same number is found on all pages.
