Spanish term or phrase: puesta en servicio
Hi,
I know this term has been translated as "commissioning" or "start-up", but in the case of "puesta en servicio" after maintenance, would these terms also work? My worry is if they apply more to "new" machines/equipment. And if so, is there an alternative (preferably a noun).

The context is aircraft line maintenance and the phrase comes from a list of responsibilities of the Head of Line Maintenance. The text is:

(Será el responsable de que...)
El personal tenga la autorización adecuada para los trabajos a desempeñar en mantenimiento línea y para realizar las puestas en servicio.

Many thanks!

Explanation:
QED.
"Staff should/shall have appropriate authorisation to carry out line maintenance work and get equipment I service last up and running ..."

And yes, (to me, anyway) 'commissioning' and 'start-up' do sound as though they refer to new machinery etc.

Sorry, that should read "...and get the equipment back in service/up and running", I don't know what happened the last time.

Please see my discussion entry. In a past incarnation I was used to hearing aircraft engineers talking about serviceable and unserviceable aircraft.
