German term
Steckdose ABS.
German to English
Tech/Engineering

sauna
This is part of a table describing the technical details of a sauna. I am not sure what to make of the "ABS." Even worse, the German text is all uppercase letters so I am not sure if it is Abs. or ABS.
ANSCHLUSS: WECHSELSTROM 230 V STECKDOES ABS.: 16A
Does anybody know what ABS is here?

fuse/circuit protection
Quite likely this means "Absicherung: 16 Ampere.", protection: 16 amps. I'm quite confident because 16 A is standard fuse rating in Germany and because there is not ABS-16A, it's always ABS when referring to the material.

Comment: "Thank you to everyone for their time and effort. Fuse/circuit protection seems to make good sense here."

: First I thought, this was very likely (http://www.kundert.ch/db_uebersicht.asp), but now I tend towards Klaus' answer.

: with specs of 230 V and 16 A, why would they suddenly bring up chemicals?

ABS plug
The link below talks about ABS and EBS Steckdosen, where ABS stands for a plug with 5 pins opposed to the EBS one with 7 pins.
Although it might be possible that they refer to the plastic it is made of, I don't think that's very likely. Also the full stop doesn't make any sense. Maybe you should go for the safe option and call it an ABS plug.

: You don't need 5 pins for 230 V - a 5 pin connector would point to Kraftstrom.

You're absolutely right with that.
