Russian term or phrase: изделие единичного повторяющегося производства‏
Hello, could anyone help with an accurate translation of the above phrase please? It's the повторяющегося that's causing the main problem, as (if I've understood correctly) the rest of the phrase is along the lines of 'made to order product' or 'produced in single units'. It comes from an order specification for the supply of diesel generators to a nuclear power station, and the whole sentence reads:

'электростанции (model number) являются изделями единичного повторяющегося производства, собираются по рабочей конструкторской документации.....'

Thanks for any help that can be offered, and if any more context is required please let me know.

individual projects following a single design as reflected in


Explanation:
working documentation/blueprints. That's what it means in regular English. Your original is but a fine sample of notorious Russian technocratic bureaucratese.

recurring product


Explanation:
It's not serial product - but rather the one made on a recurring basis, i.e. from time to time using the same standard design and drawings.
