GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:a.a.R. der Technik
English translation:generally recognized rules of technology OR commonly accepted technical standards
Entered by: Derek Gill Franßen

German to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / insurance/manufacturing
German term or phrase: a.a.R.
in a contract claim involving an insurance company:
...wie sich ein mit dem Vorgang befasstes Unternehmen den a.a.R. der Technik folgend verhalten muss, um die Fehler zu erkennen.

Is this an attempt to use the English a.a.r.?
Does "... in order to conform to the against-all-risks of the technology" or "the a.a.r. of the technology" make sense?

agree  Derek Gill Franßen: Yes, though I would use something else instead of "agreed-upon" (cf. my suggestion). :-)
