Fabrikatsliste
make list vs product list
The first question that always pops up is about the context. This " Fabrikatsliste" appears multiple times for various manufacturers in the context of a proofreading job related to "Betriebsgebäude (Produktion + Logistik) mit Hauptgebäude für Energie und technische Infrastruktur".

See the Rheinhausen link from K. Isaac The full title of that document is “Liefervorschrift Fabrikatliste TGA”. The “-vorschrift” part is where I get “approved.” You could also use “specified” but that seems a bit less natural to my ear.
Michelangela (asker) Jun 22, 2021:
Where "approved" comes in My husband David also put it as "approved" product list, meaning it is not a product catalog of a specific manufacturer, but rather the "parts" or products, along with their manufacturers, that made it to the list, to be used for the project.
David Hollywood Jun 22, 2021:
don't see where "approved" comes into it
Michelangela (asker) Jun 20, 2021:
Another sentence that may provide context Die Bezeichnung der Bauteile geben keinen Aufschluss über eine Reihenfolge in der Errichtung der einzelnen Gebäude.
Ramey Rieger (X) Jun 20, 2021:
Good morning Michaela! It would be SO nice to have one or two sentences where the term turn up!

List of approved manufacturers

I don’t know a common “term of art,” but this is what the list is for. The Rheinhausen link that K. Isaac provided is a good example.

product list

A product list includes details about a company's entire portfolio of products. A product list is intended to organize all of a business's goods, stock, price, sales history, etc. Often, it is necessary to make a product list before you can prepare invoices.

Note from asker:
So, Darin, how would you translate it, then? List of products and approved manufacturers?
Would "approved product list" be the best match? @Darin, if you think so, please provide this as your answer.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Darin Fitzpatrick : This would be the inverse of the Fabrikatsliste, which is a list of products used on the job and their respective approved manufacturers.

Where do you get "approved" from Darin?
