Nachweis nich plausibel geführt

English translation: Good one, Jonathan! I would slightly adjust it:

Medical / Hilfsmittelverzeichnis
German term or phrase: Nachweis nich plausibel geführt
Unsure of the construction in the sentence below rejecting an application for approving a medical device. Is it because "the proof for the quality standard was not plausibly completed" or "there was no plausible proof that the quality standard was met?"


"Die Aufnahme des Produkts in das Hilfsmittelverzeichnis nicht erfolgen kann, da der Nachweise der Qualitätsstandards nach Abs. 2 SGB für das Produkt nicht plausibel geführt wurde."

English translation:Good one, Jonathan! I would slightly adjust it:
Explanation:
"because COMPLIANCE WITH the quality standards as defined in Para. 2 of the SGB have not been plausibly demonstrated for this product".

If you use "demonstrate", IMO, you don't demonstrate the "quality standards" themselves but "compliance with the quality standards". I think this is the only proper way to say it.

Thank you. I think that the author used the term "plausibel" for a reason.

Is SBG=Sozialgesetzbuch or something Swiss?

To my mind the author carefully chose the word \"plausible\" to denote that the authority would have settled for a plausible explanation, i.e. a conclusive explanation wasn\'t even required.

conclusively demonstrated


Explanation:
"plausibel" in this Kontext means überzeuged. I believe "conclusively demonstrated" is the most comon phrasing in this context.

Example: Combination therapy with AZT & ddI or AZT & ddC also may be considered, although clinical trials have not conclusively demonstrated clinical benefit to date.

agree  Steffen Pollex (X): Yes, actually, they should have chosen "schlüssig" instead of "plausibel" in German. That's what they mean. Only a result can be "plausibel", a process, a proof is "schlüssig" or "folgerichtig".

not clearly demonstrated


Explanation:
I think plausibel is better translated as clear, in the sense of easy to understand or convincing. I think they're saying that the evidence that was presented was not convincing, or "it was not clearly demonstrated that ......."

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Steffen Pollex (X): "clearly", IMO, is somewhat too weak here. May be, the conclusion was just in written, without any practical testing. Then, I think, "clearly" wouldn't cover it.
