Portuguese to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Instruments / Medical products QA
Portuguese term or phrase: Adequação
I'm looking for a synonym for this word. Adequation exists in English but its not often used. What would be a better fit here? Suitability?
This relates to QA procedures for medical sutures and needles etc.

Tailoring


Explanation:
e.g.:
These services can be tailored to meet a wide variety of your requirements, whether it involves the repackaging of imported products to conform to local requirements, packaging rework (such as inspection, salvaging products from existing packaging or bottles and full repackaging), over-labeling or the addition of inserts and information sheets.

You might also want to rule out simply 'packaging' or 'repackaging'
