EMC-testing
This is an acceptance criterion in a list of EMV-Anforderungen (EMC requirements). Under the heading "Funktion der Anzeigen und Steuerteile", one of the points in "Annahmekriterium B" is "unbeaufsichtigtes LED Aufleuchten". My question is: does this simply mean an LED coming on when it should not, although (as far as I know) "unbeaufsichtigt" means "unsupervised", not "incorrect".

unbeabsichtigtes Aufleuchten?
I'm wondering if it's a typo - unbeabsichtigtes Aufleuchten gets far more Google hits than unbeaufsichtigtes Aufleuchten.
That would of course make your suggested interpretation right - coming on when it shouldn't.

: I think they wanted to say "undue" or "false", but instead put "inadvertent".. Just a thought...

Comment: "Armorel's reply was helpful - I hadn't thought of that. I believe it means LEDs lighting up when they should not, but I don't know whether the German term is correct, so no glossary entry."

could mean that the LED lights up but there is no human intervention so go for Plan B

: "unmonitored status" would be really nice if it is not a typo...
