Not for points - more context for the asker Explanation: The use of Dispositiv in the asker's document is likely to be the same as in the following example, taken from a another, similar Swiss document: "Entnahme neuer Wasserproben zur Untersuchung und sofortige Risikoabschätzung und Überprüfung des Dispositivs, damit Korrekturmaßnahmen getroffen werden können." Maybe some of you technical-minded people can take an intelligent guess, with this context. |

device, apparatus Explanation: I was going to ask whether this is a SwGer text; this is prob. a case of French usage creeping in to Swiss German. French "dispositif" = simply "device, apparatus" Good luck DB |
