sicherheitlich

Sicherheitlich is a German adjective and, less commonly, an adverb used primarily in formal or technical language to denote aspects that pertain to safety or security. The term is formed from Sicherheit (safety, security) with the suffix -lich, which yields meanings such as “related to safety” or “in terms of safety.” It is not a commonly used everyday word and tends to appear in bureaucratic, regulatory, or risk-management contexts. It is distinct from the compound-prefix Sicherheits- used in technical terms and from the noun Sicherheit itself.

In practice, sicherheitlich appears in phrases such as sicherheitlich relevante Daten, sicherheitlich notwendige Maßnahmen, or sicherheitlich bedingte Einschränkungen, where it qualifyingly indicates that the referenced element serves safety or security considerations. The usage is common in fields like risk assessment, compliance, civil protection, disaster management, and IT security documentation, where precise categorization of safety-related aspects is required.

Because “sicherheitlich” can sound formal or technical, some authors prefer alternatives such as sicherheitsbezogen or im Hinblick auf die Sicherheit to express similar ideas. Nevertheless, sicherheitlich remains an established term in German-language professional writing for indicating safety-oriented relevance.
