Selected
hazardous area
Hazardous Areas are classified into three "Zones". The Standard EN 60079-10 provides guidance for classification of areas in which an explosive atmosphere may exist.
These Zones are defines as follows:
Zone 0 An area where an explosive atmosphere is present continuously of for long periods.
Zone 1 An area where an explosive atmosphere is likely to to occur in normal operation.
Zone 2 An area where an explosive atmosphere is not likely to occur in normal operation
Für den Geschäftsbericht taugt hazardous area als Obergriff allemale. :-)

You don\'t need to know about these zones. They don\'t have to appear in your translation, I just wanted to show that \'hazardous area\' is the standard term. I don\'t know how \"bei Gefahr\" appears in your text, but I don\'t think there is a risk of confusion in using \'harzardous area\'. I thought in this case, a more fact-based approach was more appropriate than my low temperature coffe maker. If you\'d like, I could mention Zone -1 - it\'s so explosive that it disappeared before scientist could prove it existed...

: I think Fantutti has got it. Explosionsgefaehrdet is also sometimes referred to as a potentialy explosive atmosphere or area (I don't have my Siemens dictinoary handy, but I think that's what they give). http://www.xmatic.com/tranzmatic/index.htm

Protection for areas with high explosion risk
not 'of high'
Peer comment(s):
| neutral |
Richard Benham
: "of" is as good. "in areas" is better than "for". "at risk of explosion" is also better. Why "high" anyway?

habe auch schon "bei Gefahr" und nahm da ganz einfach die Dangerous Areas, wenn ich jetzt die hazardous areas nehme, w�re Unterschied nicht klar, weil jemand, der soich nicht auskennt, nicht weiss, was 1, 2 und 3 sind, oder? dann besser explosion-prone? Und wo bleibt das Ger�t? Ich habe den Power Jiucer von Jack La Lanne. Mein SOhn udn ich haben herausgefunden, dass er nach hinten explodiert (Furchtabfall) wenn man w�hrend des Betriebs nach vorne ausgie�t....
