Spiegelung

English translation: Compliance

09:31 Mar 26, 2004
German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Engineering: Industrial
German term or phrase: Spiegelung
Specific context = Bei Eigenprüfung Nachweis der Spiegelung an der gesamten Norm
Overall context = Quality assurance checklist for manufacture of medical equipment
My main problem with this sentence is "Spiegelung" but I'm not fully sure how to get around the "Eigenprüfung" bit either... (proprietary inspection??).
Any help at all would be much appreciated!

Explanation:
"Verification of compliance to the entire standard by in-house testing."

Or perhaps "internal testing".

Another way to deal with \"Spiegelung\" might be to use the word \"reflects\", e.g. \"Verification that (the product) reflects the requirements of the entire standard....\" But I prefer \"compliance\"!

  -> In US English "Norm" is translated as "Standard"; maybe not in Britisch English?
