Comment: "I picked up on your out-of-limits suggestion and decided to use "out-of-specification" which I have abbreviated to OOS in most cases to keep things simple.
Thanks to all for your creative suggestions!"

German term (edited):
Grenzwert�berschreitung
overrun, overload, range error, overdose
Again, depends on context. Given frequent use, it would read better as a single word in English.

German term (edited):
Grenzwert�berschreitung
threshold is exceeded
They have a point, without context its hard to find a suitable translation, given that a bit of "Umschreiben" is necessary.
So, my 2p worth.

With the additional context provided, I would not use the term threshold.
Perhaps \"exceeding the permitted limit\", as we seem to be talking about an artificially set limit.

: Thought myself of exceeding or exceedance of the threshold, however, didn't like it so rephrasing is probably really necessary.

German term (edited):
Grenzwert�berschreitung
defect
If you want to keep it succinct in English, this could work. All "Grenzwertueberschreitungen" are defects, although not all defects are "Grenzwertueberschreitungen."
