German term or phrase: §29a- Sachverständige
In a piece by a company about how it plans to expand its activities in the plant safety sector in future:

"Durch neue Produkte, die mit Blick auf die EG-Vorschriften laufend entwickelt werden (Betreiberprüfstelle, §29a- Sachverständige, etc.), eine bessere Ausbildung infolge interner und externer Schulungen und Flexibilität soll die Wettbewerbsposition gestärkt werden."

experts as defined in Section 29
Explanation:
I know that "nach" can be translated as "according to," but I much prefer "as defined in," or "as set forth in."

In my experience "according to" is not a common useage in this context in the States.
