Överensställt

Överensställt is a Swedish term that functions as an adjective and as the perfekt participle of the verb överensställa. It describes something that is in agreement with, or conforms to, a reference such as standards, rules, expectations, or reality. In English, it is commonly rendered as “in accordance with” or “in compliance with.” The word tends to appear in formal, technical, or administrative contexts.

In usage, överensställt is most often found with the preposition med (överensställt med), indicating conformity to a specified criterion. It is typically used predicatively, for example: Resultatet var överensställt med kraven (The result was in accordance with the requirements). The term is common in legal, regulatory, auditing, and compliance-related writing, where documents, findings, or assessments are described as överensställda or överensställt to emphasize conformity.

Grammatical note: as a perfekt participle, överensställt can modify nouns or appear in clauses with auxiliary verbs. It is related to other forms such as överensställa (to align/bring into agreement) and överensstämma (to correspond). In translation, it conveys a sense of alignment rather than creation, and is often contrasted with expressions indicating deviation or nonconformity.
