German term

Fachverantwortlicher

German to English Tech/Engineering Medical: Pharmaceuticals
Context: test protocol in a pharmaceutical product manufacturing process.

Testing for bioburden, toxins, etc.

At the end of the form it says:

"Geprueft: Datum/Fachverantwortlicher"

How would we translate Fachverantwortlicher? Section head?

Thanks!

technician in charge

I am probably going out on a limb here as a non-expert but I would have guessed that this pertains to the more narrow responsibilty of verifying that specific test protocols have been followed rather than to any supervisory or managerial responsibilty.
