GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:fachgerecht
English translation:properly

Bus/Financial - Safety / Health, safety and environment guideline
German term or phrase: fachgerecht
"Äußerliche Anhaftungen an den Behältnissen sind fachgerecht (inkl. Desinfektion) zu entfernen"

I would like clarification on what is understood by a German when they see the term 'fachgerecht'.
Does it infer that the material will need to be removed 'by a professional' (i.e. someone specialised in this) or simply 'in a professional manner' (i.e. 'properly')?

So far, I have written:

"Any material adhering to the outside of containers must be removed properly (and disinfected)."

in the end I actually chose 'following standard procedures', as there was mention of SOPs within the remainder of the document. It seems that 'properly' does, however, get the intended message across.
