1. An explosion-proof housing that forms an interior for location of components that can form ignition sources, the explosion-proof housing having a first housing part with a flange section that comprises a first face and a second housing part with a second section that comprises a second face, wherein the flange section and/or the second section is a wall section, and the first face has a first configuration and the second face has a second configuration that is different from the first configuration, such that the first configuration and the second configuration define an intermediate region therebetween when the first configuration and the second configuration are adjacent to each other, and wherein the flange section and the second section are pressed against one another after elastic deformation of the wall section, such that the intermediate region is geometrically closed in a flameproof manner due to the elastic deformation of the wall section, wherein the explosion-proof housing is configured according to an explosion protection category of flame-proof enclosure as defined by the standard (DIN EN 600-79/1) and the interior of the explosion-proof housing is configured to arrange electrical or electronic components therein that could form ignition sources; wherein the flange section is a sheet and/or the second section is a sheet section; wherein a sheet thickness of the flange section and/or the second section is no greater than a maximum of 5 mm.
