German term

durch eine Abnahmegesellschaft gestellt

German to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general) Manufacturing
From the operating instructions for a machine:

====
In der Betriebsanleitung werden folgende Qualifikationen für verschiedene Tätigkeitsbereiche benannt:
• ...
• Sachverständiger
verfügt über eine besondere Sachkunde und einer überdurchschnittlichen fachlichen Kompetenz sowie mehrjährige Berufserfahrung bzw. Weiterqualifizierung auf einem gewissen Gebiet. Ein Sachverständiger wird durch eine Abnahmegesellschaft gestellt.

I realise that "Abnahmegesellschaft" is in the glossary as "acceptance authority", but can't quite work out what the phrase is getting at in this context. Thanks for your thoughts.

Startup and Commissioning Services - We know motors, switchgear and breakers
Ensure your equipment is ready to work properly
In today’s marketplace, your operating requirements require complex, multi-vendor and multi-product solutions. Components are often manufactured in several locations and then shipped, assembled and tested in another. Even with careful factory testing, final commissioning can occur only at your site, where the new equipment must tie into your existing system.

gestellt - provided, I think. The trouble is it would then be provided by an acceptance service provider.
Note from asker:
Thanks for the input Kim. I'll have to ask for a bit more specific context from the customer. I agree, your interpretation does seem to be the sense of the term "Abnahmegesellschaft" here, and fits with the context of installing machines. What you put for "gestellt" here? It sounds like they are there on a consultancy basis, but that seems a bit of a stretch from the vague "stellen".

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "The client was happy enough with this solution, but didn't provide any additional information to clarify the context unfortunately. I used "on behalf of" for "gestellt", as this was the most generic term I could come up with."

Hi Johannes, thanks for the very detailed answer. I looks like I'll have to go to the client to find out exactly what they mean.
