German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.) / testing of equipment
German term or phrase: ausserterminlich
What could ausserteminlich be best translated as?

LIke in "Ausserterminliche Prüfung" ( in case of testing of machines/ instruments), can we perhaps say unplanned inspection?

Thanks

unscheduled
Explanation:
might work, but more context would be helpful.

"Unscheduled" in my experience is usually "ungeplant" or "außerplanmäßig". Perhaps "außerterminlich" has the same meaning in your text.
