Inspection


Explanation:
OK, now we know it's Peru, the OSINEREGMIN website:

http://www.osinerg.gob.pe/newweb/pages/GFGN/1539_r.htm

uses both 'supervisión' and 'fiscalización', presumably because they refer to different contexts/tasks/functions.

In this case, 'fiscalización' appears to refer to 'inspection' - as in the inspection of gas installations on consumer's premises, for example. The mentioned website gives a list of companies authorized to carry out such inspections.
