Russian term or phrase: на консервации
основные средства подразделяются на те, что находятся­ в эксплуатации, в стадии достройки, в ремонте, на консервации

Both "laid up" and "mothballed" sound too colloquial to me - would there be a better alternative that would cover most industries ?

Many thanks !!

deactivated / inactive


Explanation:
- If you want to stress that they are not been used, are stopped (like a factory).
- Or you could use "frozen" if it's more in the sense that they are inactive in the balance boooks. Need to take care in that case 'cause assets can be frozen by authorities and regulators too which would have a different meaning.
