German term
Melder
German to English
Tech/Engineering
Safety
quality assurance
It is the person who notifies others about a defective part. For 'Entdecker' I came up with 'the person who discovered the defect', but I'm struggling with 'Melder'. Since it is a person it can't be a detector or warning device.

person filing the report
The report and the identification of the defect are the responsibility of the person discovering the defect (person filing the report).
Note from asker:
I finally went with my own translation 'person reporting the defect' but yours would have worked equally well. Thank you. |

: I think you've preserved the circularity of the German - the report is the responsibility of the person filing the report. I would ignore Melder.

Just another way to identify the person.

person reporting/filing incident
I know companies that don't actually speak of defects or problems but rather incidents.

Steffen Walter
: This is about detecting/identifying (and reporting on) defective parts/defects/malfunctions, rather than incidents caused by them. I think we should keep this distinction as clear as possible.

i like this option, innovative
Peer comment(s):

Armorel Young
: But only appropriate if other people are trying to conceal the defect, and there is no suggestion that that is the case.

person reporting
"The person who has discovered the defect (person/employee reporting) is responsible for labeling the part and reporting the defect."
Discussion
Melder = person/employee reporting the defect
The defective part is marked with this form and is thus blocked for further use (form serves as a check-out slip).It is forbidden to continue to use locked parts.
Both the message and the marking is done by the discoverer (detector).
https://www.seton.com/labels-decals/inventory-inspection/qua...
The defective part is tagged with (an orange?) sticker, rejected and removed from stock, stocking of rejected parts is not allowed. The rejection form, sticker is placed and filled out by the operator and inspector.
