German term or phrase: a.a.R.
in a contract claim involving an insurance company:
...wie sich ein mit dem Vorgang befasstes Unternehmen den a.a.R. der Technik folgend verhalten muss, um die Fehler zu erkennen.

Is this an attempt to use the English a.a.r.?
Does "... in order to conform to the against-all-risks of the technology" or "the a.a.r. of the technology" make sense?
