Abstract

This International Standard is a supporting standard for ISO 31000 and provides guidance on selection and application of systematic techniques for risk assessment. <br>Risk assessment carried out in accordance with this standard contributes to other risk management activities. <br>The application of a range of techniques is introduced, with specific references to other international standards where the concept and application of techniques are described in greater detail. <br>This standard is not intended for certification, regulatory or contractual use. <br>This standard does not provide specific criteria for identifying the need for risk analysis, nor does it specify the type of risk analysis method that is required for a particular application. <br>This standard does not refer to all techniques, and omission of a technique from this standard does not mean it is not valid. The fact that a method is applicable to a particular circumstance does not mean that the method should necessarily be applied. <br>NOTE This standard does not deal specifically with safety. It is a generic risk management standard and any references to safety are purely of an informative nature. Guidance on the introduction of safety aspects into IEC standards is laid down in ISO/IEC Guide 51.
