The definitions of "Threat" and "Hazard" are very similar, so maybe the terms do not need to be distinguished. A CI-specific usage example for the above terms can be found on the "Hazard" entry.

Definitions
European Definitions
Any indication, circumstance, or event with the potential to disrupt or destroy CI, or any element thereof. [1]
The European Commission's CBRN Glossary[2] defines threat as
The likelihood of occurrence of a hazard or event with a harmful effect. In contrast to risk, a threat is not related to the impact it may cause. In the context of public health, a threat is defined as a substance, condition or event, which by its presence has the potential to rapidly harm an exposed population, sufficiently lead to a major crisis. [2]
ENISA
Threat is any circumstance or event with the potential to adversely impact an asset through unauthorized access, destruction, disclosure, modification of data, and/or denial of service. [3]
Other International Definitions

Amenaza: Violación potencial de la seguridad. [6]
NATO CEP / EAPC
A threat is any event that has the potential to disrupt or destroy critical infrastructure, or any element thereof. [7]
An all hazards approach to threat includes accidents, natural hazards as well as deliberate attacks.
EU Project VITA
The semantics of that definition in the context of CI is that a threat to a CI may give rise to serious consequences to critical societal functions, including the supply chain, health, safety, security, economic or social well-being of people.
