German term or phrase: Gefährdungspotentiale
Austrian "Einkaufsbedingungen", specifically the "Dokumentation" section.

Does this simply mean "potential risks" (or hazards) or am I missing something?

Thanks!

potential risks/threats/hazards
Explanation:
I think you've got the right idea. It is not uncommon for the relation of the concepts in a compound to be reversed between English and German: think of "blank CD" vs "CD-Rohling".
