Note that the French is singular (because it refers to the document), while the English is plural (because, while naming the document, it refers to the contents of the document).

"Document présentant les règles professionnelles applicables à la mise en oeuvre d'un matériau ou d'un procédé constructif non normalisé." - in other words, a type of specification for how the item can be used in a professional construction context.
No idea whether this is right, but I think it makes sense!

Note from asker:
