Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng / câblage électrique
German term or phrase: flammenwidrig
Dans les spécifications du câblage électrique d'un entrepôt ferroviaire, je trouve le point suivant :

Alle Kabel müssen Flammenwidrig sein

La compréhension n'est pas en cause, mais quelques points plus bas, j'ai :

Alle Kabel müssen brandbeständig sein

Si je traduis ce dernier par résistant au feu, je ne sais plus comment traduire le premier. Quelle est la nuance qui m'échappe s'il y en a une ?

Merci et très bonne journée.
