Sorry not much context. A heading in a list of cost categories. (Does anyone have an English translation of cost catogies in DIN 476??)

modular interior wall
Explanation:
elementiert means modular, like in following reference:
"Sanitärzellen werden nach zwei Systemen
sowohl als Kompakt-Einheit als auch in
Modulen, der sogenannten “Elementierten
Ausführung” im Werk gefertigt.
Die Montage auf der Baustelle erfolgt entsprechend in einem Stück oder durch den Zusammenbau der Module."

By the way, DIN476 describes paper formats; or is the meaning of the two questionmarks that you don\'t know the complete number?

DIN 276


Explanation:
Agree with Hans-Henning on the term and would like to add that the standard you are citing is almost certainly DIN 276 (Building Costs) NOT 476.

Search result @ www.beuth.de, the German publishing house for standards:

DIN 276, Publication date:1993-06 Volltext in bauregeln.de
Building costs

At the cited website, you can order an English translation of the standard (EUR 89.20).
