German term or phrase: erkennbare Mängel

Unternehmer müssen offensichtliche Mängel sowie bei ordnungsgemäßer Untersuchung erkennbare Mängel innerhalb einer Frist von einer Woche ab Empfang der Ware schriftlich anzeigen; anderenfalls ist die Geltendmachung von Gewährleistungsansprüchen ausgeschlossen. Zur Fristwahrung genügt die rechtzeitige Absendung.

I guess I had always thought of "erkennbare Maengel" as being more or less the same as "offensichtliche Maengel." If I'm using "obvious defects" for the latter, then what would be best for "erkennbare Maengel"?

Thanks.
