English term or phrase: withdrawal from usage
How to put "withdrawal from usage" in Danish. If there's a verb expression "at take ud af brug" can a noun "ud-af-brug-tagelse" be made? Does it sound good?
It concerns some equipment, after a given period it must be withdrawn, which has to be recorded in documentation.

inddragelse


Explanation:
"Ud-af-brug-tagelse" won't work. "Inddragelse" could work if the equipment would actually be confiscated. The more generic "Tilbagetrækning" would still need some explanation. I guess the English word "Retirement" also comes close to what you want, but that doesn't have a clear equivalent in Danish, either.

IMHO: You can't use just one word - you need to explain.

lade udgå fra brug


Explanation:
lade udgå

I found this under discontinue in Gyldendals Røde
http://ordbog.gyldendal.dk/sitecore/content/Ordbog/Home/Opsl...

Another suggestion was
tilbagetrække.
This is more active, and is also used of defective products that have to be called in, e.g. through notices in the newspaper etc.

tage ud af drift


Explanation:
A fairly common phrase, I believe.

Example sentence(s):
  • Atomkraftværkets reaktor 1 blev taget ud af drift i december 2004 som en betingelse for Litauens indtræden i EU.
