GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:nach Angaben des Bestellers
English translation:according to the customer's specifications

German term or phrase: nach Angaben
Für Leistungen unseres Ingenieurs, die mit dem Auftrag, zu dessen Erfüllung er entsandt wird, nicht zusammenhängen, sowie für Leistungen unseres Ingenieurs, die ohne unsere besondere Anweisung auf Wunsch oder nach Angaben des Bestellers ausgeführt werden, haften wir und unser Ingenieur in keinem Falle.

I've looked at all the other "Angaben" Kudoz questions but none of them seem to cover the use that's made of it here. It seems here that the correct translation would be "at the instruction of", but this already comes up in the sentence once ("ohne unsere besondere Anweisung").

Thanks in advance.

I was thinking of \"work carried out/performed to the customer\'s specifications\", but I think \"according to\" would make it sound better - thanks all! ;-)
