HAZARD AND OPERABILITY STUDIES (HAZOP STUDIES) –
APPLICATION GUIDE

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61882 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 56:
Dependability.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2001. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) clarification of terminology as well as alignment with terms and definitions within
ISO 31000:2009 and ISO Guide 73:2009;
b) addition of an improved case study of a procedural HAZOP.

INTRODUCTION
This standard describes the principles for and approach to guide word-driven risk
identification. Historically this approach to risk identification has been called a hazard and
operability study or HAZOP study for short. This is a structured and systematic technique for
examining a defined system, with the objectives of:
• identifying risks associated with the operation and maintenance of the system. The
hazards or other risk sources involved can include both those essentially relevant only to
the immediate area of the system and those with a much wider sphere of influence, for
example some environmental hazards;
• identifying potential operability problems with the system and in particular identifying
causes of operational disturbances and production deviations likely to lead to non-
conforming products.
An important benefit of HAZOP studies is that the resulting knowledge, obtained by identifying
risks and operability problems in a structured and systematic manner, is of great assistance in
determining appropriate remedial measures.
A characteristic feature of a HAZOP study is the examination session during which a multi-
disciplinary team under the guidance of a study leader systematically examines all relevant
parts of a design or system. It identifies deviations from the system design intent utilizing a
set of guide words. The technique aims to stimulate the imagination of participants in a
systematic way to identify risks and operability problems. A HAZOP study should be seen as
an enhancement to sound design using experience-based approaches such as codes of
practice rather than a substitute for such approaches.
Historically, HAZOP and similar studies were described as hazard identification as their
primary purpose is to test in a systematic way whether hazards are present and, if so,
understand both how they could result in adverse consequences and how such consequences
could be avoided through process redesign. ISO 31000:2009 defines risk as the effect of
uncertainty on objectives, with a note that an effect is a deviation from the expected.
Therefore HAZOP studies, which consider deviations from the expected, their causes and
their effect on objectives in the context of process design, are now correctly characterized as
powerful risk identification tools.
There are many different tools and techniques available for the identification of risks, ranging
from checklists, failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) to HAZOP. Some techniques, such
as checklists and what-if/analysis, can be used early in the system life cycle when little
information is available, or in later phases if a less detailed analysis is needed. HAZOP
studies require more detail regarding the systems under consideration, but produce more
comprehensive information on risks and weaknesses in the system design.
The term HAZOP is sometimes associated, in a generic sense, with some other hazard
identification techniques (e.g. checklist HAZOP, HAZOP 1 or 2, knowledge-based HAZOP).
The use of the term with such techniques is considered to be inappropriate and is specifically
excluded from this document.
Before commencing a HAZOP study, it should be confirmed that it is the most appropriate
technique (either individually or in combination with other techniques) for the task in hand. In
making this judgment, consideration should be given to the purpose of the study, the possible
severity of any consequences, the appropriate level of detail, the availability of relevant data
and resources and the needs of decision-makers.
This standard has been developed to provide guidance across many industries and types of
system. There are more specific standards and guides within some industries, notably the
process industries where the technique originated, which establish preferred methods of
application for these industries. For details see the bibliography at the end of this standard.
