cut the mark
We believe that cyclists are generally doing their bit for the environment by cycling in the first place and where we have tested fully ‘green’ and ‘eco friendly’ products – these basically don’t cut the mark!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
dar la talla / cumplir los requistos / los estándares pertinentes
Creo que está comparando el producto que se promociona con otros productos que se suponían que tenían que reunir las características ecológicas necesarias, pero no las reunían todas... “no dieron la talla” “no cumplieron con los requisitos”... “parecían pero no eran”... “Se las daban de ‘verdes’ o ‘ecológicos’, pero no lo eran realmente”.
Suerte.

: Dada la ubicación de Gema, sería (supongo) para España. "Dar el ancho" no funcionaría aquí.

We cannot be guided by where people are, but by the destination of the translation and she fails to mention that. This is a legitimate expression in my part of the world.
