I'm not happy with any of the options I can come up with for this one. I was hoping to get some different ideas. I don't have any documentation on the technical Specs so other than saying that this is a line from a weapons procurement contract, this is all I can provide for context.
"se establecen los tipos de verificaciones de acuerdo al requerimiento mínimo del Grupo Técnico Operativo sobre las especificaciones técnicas, teniendo en cuenta la medida y/o característica."

Spanish term (edited):
medida y/o característica
Selected
dimensions and/or characteristics
The text is rather ambiguous, but presuming they're referring to the maintenance checks for weapons [?], this would be my suggestion.

you're right Peter, better to choose James' answer in order to avoid repetition

Note from asker:
| Philippe, I'm not sure how you would integrate this into the text. How would you translate "las especificaciones técnicas, teniendo en cuenta la medida y/o característica." I think it would be especially awkward if you were to translate "especificaciones" as "specifications" as well. |
Something went wrong...
