Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / Stainless Steel Derouging
German term or phrase: HEZ
“Der Prozess der erfolgreichen Repassivierung setzt allerdings voraus, dass die Edelstahloberfläche tatsächlich auch passivierbereit ist – also frei von organischen und anorganischen Kontaminationen wie:
Fette/Öle ≤ 1 mg/m²
Lacke, Farben keine (max. strohgelbe HEZ bei Formiergasschweissung)”

From a standard operating procedure about stainless steel derouging. I have no idea whatsoever what "HEZ" stands for. None of the usual meanings of “HEZ” seem to fit here. TIA for any light you can shed on this highly obscure abbreviation.
