A protective housing in explosion-protection-type pressure-proof encapsulation. At least one device for reducing explosive pressure is associated with the housing. The housing includes a first housing part having a first sealing surface and a second housing part having a second sealing surface, wherein, when the housing is in the closed pressure-proof state, a resilient seal is held between the first sealing surface and the second sealing surface so as to be elastically deformed, and, as a result, closes the space between the first sealing surface and the second sealing surface in a flame-proof manner in the event of an explosion inside the housing. The flame-proof arrangement can replace a planar gap between, for example, a surface of a cover and a surface of a housing part, which gap requires conformity to relatively narrow manufacturing tolerances.
