German term

abstellen (context and sentence help)

German to English Bus/Financial Insurance
Ziffer 21 gilt fuer den Fall entsprechend, dass waehrend der Laufzeit des Versicherungsverhaeltnisses ein versichertes Risiko teilweise wegfaellt, mit der Massgabe, dass auf den Zeitpunkt des Wegfalls des versicherten Risikos abzustellen ist.

I don't see what's supposed to be abgestellt (i.e. a subject).

Here's my version so far:
Figure 21 applies for the event ?correspondingly? that during the term of the insurance relationship an insured risk partially ceases to exist, with the proviso that at the point in time of the cessation of the insured risk *is to abstellen*.

to take into account

I have translated some financial texts where 'abstellen' was used in the sense of 'to rely on, to use for orientation'. Other translations I found included 'to focus on, to concentrate on' (Hans E. Zahn, 'Finanzsprache - Language of Finance' 1997 edition). The sentence would suggest that the exact time when the partial risk ceases is relevant for the validity of this clause. Maybe something like '... with the proviso, that the exact time of the cessation of such partial risk is to be taken into account'.
Peer comment(s):

agree Alarch Gwyn : Only I'd say: it is the exact time.... that is to be taken into account

agree Glyn Haggett : It's difficult without knowing what "Ziffer 21" actually says, but this seems the most logical suggestion.

Suspend

is I think what you may need; as when you dispose of your car without buying another part-way through the insurance year, you may suspend the insurance, until you have another car, when the balance may be credited to the new policy.
Obviously don't know if this fits your context, but it's a possibility.

In this case it would only be a partial suspension of the insurance; but like you, and on re-reading the paragraph, I think something is missing.
