Hebrew term or phrase: תקין/לא תקין
Hi, can anybody help me with the translation of this term. The context is a table in an engineering SOP reporting if machinery is working properly or in the required condition. Working properly/in good order is the closest I have come but they are a bit unwieldy and not suitable for a table heading. Faulty for לא תקין does not always work as the test can relate to eg whether or not something is in the right place. Normal/abnormal is also not suitable. Thanks!
