neutral margarete : Unterbau- just implies that there is an Unterbau i.e. cabinet under the sink. No further detail on how the sink is mounted.

There are two terms that I found, Einbauwaschbecken und Unterbauwaschbecken. The first one had a picture of the sink mounted from the top, the second a sink mounted from below.

fitted washbasin

is how I know them - fitted into a cabinet of one sort or another, and not free-standing; see the link below for one outstanding example.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Norbert Hermann : fitted is Einbau - this one is a kind of Einbau; i.e. Unterbau - nothing projecting on the surface of the counter.

undercounter sink/lavatory

Hmm,
At Kohlers and American Standard and many others it's called:
undercounter lavatory or undercounter sink

I wonder if this is a british/american thing?

inset sink

An **inset sink** is installed as part of a continuous work surface. The aperture is cut out once its position is decided. You must make sure there is sufficient space provided underneath for the bowl to sit and the pipes to be plumbed in.
