German term

Filassen

German to English Tech/Engineering Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.)
Kratzer/ Filassen nach DIN EN 572-2

This is from a book of guidelines to be sent to the glass suppliers of a shower enclosure manufacturers. From the context I assume "Filassen" to be something similar to groove, but I can't find any confirmation of this.

Thanks in advance
