Limitation of responsibility regarding customer contracted activities.

It sounds like the supplier is covering the possibility of something going wrong whilst fulfilling a customer request to do something not normally considered to be a usual activity of the supplying company. Sometimes called a "get out" or "escape" clause in a contract. Not always accepted by the court if it ever gets to the litigation stage.

..for tasks ordered by the client

"Delineating responsibilities for tasks ordered by the client"

Could work depending on the context...
Note from asker:
Many thanks, Michael. It s about a company engaging another to manufacture goods for its own use, a supply contract. The term is mentioned only as a heading providing no other context: Verantwortungsbegrenzung betreffend Herstellung im Auftrag.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Kim Metzger : Not enough context to answer the question intelligently. I say we wait.

German term (edited): bei Tätigkeiten im Auftrag

for contract work

We also include public liability for contract work as standard.

(UK company)

In GB, we don't do 'activities' or 'tasks'; we do 'work' on behalf of customers/clients.
Note from asker:
Many thanks, Andrew. "For contact work" captures the idea entirely.

Questions

1. Are you translating into American English?
2. Have you given us the complete sentence in which your phrase occurs?
3. What kind of contract is this?
Note from asker:
Many thanks, Kim. The context is somewhat scarce, I am after a term that would be more common in the UK but other suggestions would be helpful. Please refer to my message to Michael for more details.
