údrbový

Údržbový is a Czech and Slovak adjective meaning maintenance-related or pertaining to maintenance. It is formed from the noun údržba (maintenance) and the suffix -ový, and is used to describe plans, cycles, tasks, or equipment associated with upkeep and preservation.

The standard spelling is údržbový. A common nonstandard variant found in some informal contexts is údrbový, which omits the ř (r with háček) from the root and is generally regarded as a misspelling in formal writing. In usage, the adjective agrees with gender and number in Czech and Slovak (for example, údržbový plán, údržbová servisná služba, údržbové práce).

Typical contexts for the term include engineering, facility management, manufacturing, automotive maintenance, and information technology. Common collocations include údržbový plán (maintenance plan), údržbový cyklus (maintenance cycle), údržbové práce (maintenance tasks), and údržbový režim or maintenance mode in software and systems.

In addition to describing objects and activities, údržbový is used to distinguish routine, preventive, or corrective activities intended to preserve or restore functionality. While primarily a technical term, it appears across industries that require regular upkeep, such as buildings, machinery, vehicles, and IT infrastructure.
