Danish term or phrase: del D om 'Chipkortet' må der efter...
This is a request for original sentence appraisal rather than translation. Please can anyone give an opinion as to whether there is a full stop missing from this sentence:

Jf. kravspecifikationens del D om 'Chipkortet' må der efter ibrugtagning maksimalt vaere xx % fejlbehaeftede chipkort pr. måned.

Has my brain gone on strike, or should there be a full stop here, probably after the letter D?

Thanks in advance,
Helen

English translation:chipkortet
Explanation:
jeg mener sætningen skal have et komma efter chipkortet, så der står: kravspecifikationer del D om chipkortet, må der efter......

del D hører til kravspecifikationerne om chipkortet.

Thanks, Blangsted. I thought this might be the case, and translated it accordingly, with a slightly different, optional version in English. I'd never seen a sentence like that before.

del D om 'Chipkortet' må der efter...
part D regarding the Chip card...there must be


Explanation:
The punctuation is fine as it is. The sentence could be translated as:
With reference to part D of the requirement specification regarding the 'Chip card', after initial operation (first use) there must be a maximum of xx % erroneous/faulty chip cards per month.
So, a comma is necessary in the English sentence but not in the Danish (certainly not according to standard comma rules).
Hope this helps.
