in terms of ratings assessment
Performing a full-text search (全文検索) for "格付け評価上" on EDINET, I turn up one document that uses the expression twice:
— ⑦ 主要財務・収益目標、株主還元方針 ... （注）１ Ｄ／Ｅレシオ：格付け評価上の資本性を持つ負債について、格付け機関の評価により資本に算入しております。
— 38．金融商品 (1) 資本管理 ... ※２ Ｄ／Ｅレシオは、「社債、借入金及びリース負債」を「親会社の所有者に帰属する持分」で除して計算しております。但し、格付け評価上の資本性を併せ持つ負債（※３）について、格付機関の評価により、親会社の所有者に帰属する持分に算入しております。
In each case, the context is "格付け評価上の資本性を" and the "上" clearly has a meaning along the lines of " from the viewpoint/standpoint of", "viewed in the light of", "in view of", "for the sake of", "so/as far as…is concerned, "as far as…go(es)", and so on.
In the document that I am citing here, it is clear that "格付" refers specifically to _ratings_ issued by ratings firms (格付機関, e.g., Moody's, S&P, and Fitch).
In the case of the document that I am citing, instead of translating the term on its own as "in terms of ratings assessment", it would be better to translate the longer expression as "liabilities that, in terms of ratings, have been assessed as constituting capital" or as "liabilities that ratings companies have assessed as constituting capital".
Nevertheless, "格付(け)評価上" would not seem to make sense as a stand-alone term, and if it is used as a stand-alone term in your particular document then it could mean something other than what I have indicated here.

Comment: "As the phrase appeared as a note to a graph, I translated it simply as (ratings assessment) but with the meaning as you suggested of '(figure according to) ratings assessment'. "
