Strange that I should never have come across this before - what kind of violation is it - a classical one?
Can someone explain/translate, please?

Steffen Walter Jan 7, 2009:
Is my assumption correct that you see the two German terms as synonyms (as I do)?
Veronika McLaren (asker) Jan 7, 2009:
Die Abnahme erfolgt... wenn Server jeder Plattform durch Ausführen eines Compliance Laufs erfolgreich analysiert wurde und exemplarische Verstösse gegen den technischen Standard durch Remediation behoben wurden. Hierbei werden bis zu 5 Beispielsverstösse po Plattform betrachtet.(I think the first "wurde" should have an "n" on it - a typo?)

Veronika, please provide sentences (more context) please.

example violations / example non-compliances

The usual term in this context is 'violation' (of a standard). Here the item under test is apparently being exposed to test data or test transactions containing intentional violations of the standard in order to determine how it handles these non-compliant situations.

This has nothing to do with the legal sense of Verstoss.

Post-grading afterthought:
Another interpretation of the scenario is that the unit is first tested for compliance, the results of this test are analysed, and all non-compliances (violations of the standard) are recorded. These non-compliances are then corrected by the producer or supplier, after which the unit is again tested with respect to five 'characteristic' ('exemplarisch') non-compliances selected by the customer, in order to verify that they have been corrected. This is a sort of random sample testing, since the supplier does not know in advance which non-compliances will be selected for retesting, so successful retesting implies that all of the recorded non-compliances have been corrected.
With this interpretation, you might still use 'example non-compliances' or 'example violations', but 'sample non-compliances' and 'characteristic non-compliances' would probably be better.

trial infringements / breaches

I suspect that they are testing the software to see whether it infringes a certain copyright or patent and that they came up with sample or trial infringements. Thus, acceptance will only take place when specified trial infringements no longer occur - that is, the software (or product) passes as non-infringing (from a patent law perspective an acceptable, yet dubious, way of assuring non-infringement - whether they really will pass the threshold?).
