Risk management - Risk assessment techniques (IEC/ISO 31010:2009)

This International Standard is a supporting standard for ISO 31000 and provides guidance on selection and application of systematic techniques for risk assessment. Risk assessment carried out in accordance with this standard contributes to other risk management activities. 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. This standard is not intended for certification, regulatory or contractual use. 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. 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. 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.

Upravljanje tveganja - Tehnike ocenjevanja tveganja (IEC/ISO 31010:2009)

Ta mednarodni standard je podporni standard za ISO 31000 in zagotavlja navodilo za izbor in uporabo sistematičnih tehnik ocenjevanja tveganja. Ocenjevanje tveganja, ki poteka v skladu s tem standardom, prispeva k drugim dejavnostim upravljanja tveganja. Vpeljana je uporaba nabora tehnik, s specifičnim sklicevanjem na druge mednarodne standarde, kjer sta koncept in uporaba tehnik podrobneje opisana. Ta standard ni namenjen za certificiranje, regulatorno ali pogodbeno uporabo. Ta standard ne zagotavlja posebnih meril za prepoznavanje potrebe po analizi tveganja, niti ne določa vrste metode analize tveganja, ki je potrebna za določeno vrsto uporabe. Ta standard ne navaja vseh tehnik, zato ne pomeni, da tehnika, ki v tem standardu ni navedena, ni veljavna. Če se neka metoda lahko uporablja v določenih okoliščinah, ne pomeni, da se mora nujno uporabiti. OPOMBA Ta standard posebej ne obravnava varnosti. Je standard za splošno obvladovanje tveganja in vsako sklicevanje na varnost je popolnoma informativnega značaja. Navodilo za vpeljavo varnostnih vidikov v standarde IEC določa Vodilo 52 ISO/IEC.

RISK ASSESSMENT TECHNIQUES
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.

– 6 – 31010 © IEC:2009 INTRODUCTION Organizations of all types and sizes face a range of risks that may affect the achievement of their objectives. These objectives may relate to a range of the organization's activities, from strategic initiatives to its operations, processes and projects, and be reflected in terms of societal, environmental, technological, safety and security outcomes, commercial, financial and economic measures, as well as social, cultural, political and reputation impacts. All activities of an organization involve risks that should be managed. The risk management process aids decision making by taking account of uncertainty and the possibility of future events or circumstances (intended or unintended) and their effects on agreed objectives. Risk management includes the application of logical and systematic methods for • communicating and consulting throughout this process; • establishing the context for identifying, analysing, evaluating, treating risk associated with any activity, process, function or product; • monitoring and reviewing risks; • reporting and recording the results appropriately. Risk assessment is that part of risk management which provides a structured process that identifies how objectives may be affected, and analyses the risk in term of consequences and their probabilities before deciding on whether further treatment is required.
Risk assessment attempts to answer the following fundamental questions: • what can happen and why (by risk identification)?
• what are the consequences?
• what is the probability of their future occurrence? • are there any factors that mitigate the consequence of the risk or that reduce the probability of the risk? Is the level of risk tolerable or acceptable and does it require further treatment? This standard is intended to reflect current good practices in selection and utilization of risk assessment techniques, and does not refer to new or evolving concepts which have not reached a satisfactory level of professional consensus. This standard is general in nature, so that it may give guidance across many industries and types of system. There may be more specific standards in existence within these industries that establish preferred methodologies and levels of assessment for particular applications. If these standards are in harmony with this standard, the specific standards will generally be sufficient.

4 Risk assessment concepts
4.1 Purpose and benefits
The purpose of risk assessment is to provide evidence-based information and analysis to make informed decisions on how to treat particular risks and how to select between options.
Some of the principal benefits of performing risk assessment include: • understanding the risk and its potential impact upon objectives; SIST EN 31010:2010



– 8 – 31010 © IEC:2009 • providing information for decision makers; • contributing to the understanding of risks, in order to assist in selection of treatment options; • identifying the important contributors to risks and weak links in systems and organizations; • comparing of risks in alternative systems, technologies or approaches; • communicating risks and uncertainties; • assisting with establishing priorities; • contributing towards incident prevention based upon post-incident investigation; • selecting different forms of risk treatment; • meeting regulatory requirements; • providing information that will help evaluate whether the risk should be accepted when compared with pre-defined criteria; • assessing risks for end-of-life disposal. 4.2 Risk assessment and the risk management framework This standard assumes that the risk assessment is performed within the framework and process of risk management described in ISO 31000. A risk management framework provides the policies, procedures and organizational arrangements that will embed risk management throughout the organization at all levels.
As part of this framework, the organization should have a policy or strategy for deciding when and how risks should be assessed. In particular, those carrying out risk assessments should be clear about
• the context and objectives of the organization, • the extent and type of risks that are tolerable, and how unacceptable risks are to be treated, • how risk assessment integrates into organizational processes, • methods and techniques to be used for risk assessment, and their contribution to the risk management process, • accountability, responsibility and authority for performing risk assessment, • resources available to carry out risk assessment, • how the risk assessment will be reported and reviewed. 4.3 Risk assessment and the risk management process 4.3.1 General Risk assessment comprises the core elements of the risk management process which are defined in ISO 31000 and contain the following elements: • communication and consultation; • establishing the context; • risk assessment (comprising risk identification, risk analysis and risk evaluation); • risk treatment; • monitoring and review. Risk assessment is not a stand-alone activity and should be fully integrated into the other components in the risk management process. SIST EN 31010:2010



31010 © IEC:2009 – 9 – 4.3.2 Communication and consultation Successful risk assessment is dependent on effective communication and consultation with stakeholders.
Involving stakeholders in the risk management process will assist in • developing a communication plan, • defining the context appropriately, • ensuring that the interests of stakeholders are understood and considered, • bringing together
different areas of expertise for identifying and analysing risk, • ensuring that different views are appropriately considered in evaluating risks, • ensuring that risks
are adequately identified, • securing endorsement and support for a treatment plan. Stakeholders should contribute to the interfacing of the risk assessment process with other management disciplines, including change management, project and programme management, and also financial management. 4.3.3 Establishing the context
Establishing the context defines the basic parameters for managing risk and sets the scope and criteria for the rest of the process. Establishing the context includes considering internal and external parameters relevant to the organization as a whole, as well as the background to the particular risks being assessed.
In establishing the context, the risk assessment objectives, risk criteria, and risk assessment programme are determined and agreed. For a specific risk assessment, establishing the context should include the definition of the external, internal and risk management context and classification of risk criteria:
a) Establishing the external context involves familiarization with the environment in which the organization and the system operates including : • cultural, political, legal, regulatory, financial, economic and competitive environment factors, whether international, national, regional or local; • key drivers and trends having impact on the objectives of the organization; and • perceptions and values of external stakeholders. b) Establishing the internal context involves understanding
• capabilities of the organization in terms of resources and knowledge,
• information flows and decision-making processes, • internal stakeholders, • objectives and the strategies that are in place to achieve them, • perceptions, values and culture, • policies and processes, • standards and reference models adopted by the organization, and • structures (e.g. governance, roles and accountabilities). c) Establishing the context of the risk management process includes • defining accountabilities and responsibilities, • defining the extent of the risk management activities to be carried out, including specific inclusions and exclusions, SIST EN 31010:2010



– 10 – 31010 © IEC:2009 • defining the extent of the project, process, function or activity in terms of time and location, • defining the relationships between a particular project or activity and other projects or activities of the organization, • defining the risk assessment methodologies, • defining the risk criteria, • defining how risk management performance is evaluated, • identifying and specifying the decisions and actions that have to be made, and • identifying scoping or framing studies needed, their extent, objectives and the resources required for such studies. d) Defining risk criteria involves deciding
• the nature and types of consequences to be included and how they will be measured, • the way in which probabilities are to be expressed, • how a level of risk will be determined, • the criteria by which it will be decided when a risk needs treatment, • the criteria for deciding when a risk is acceptable and/or tolerable, • whether and how combinations of risks will be taken into account. Criteria can be based on sources such as • agreed process objectives, • criteria identified in specifications, • general data sources, • generally accepted industry criteria such as safety integrity levels, • organizational risk appetite, • legal and other requirements for specific equipment or applications. 4.3.4 Risk assessment Risk assessment is the overall process of risk identification, risk analysis and risk evaluation. Risks can be assessed at an organizational level, at a departmental level, for projects, individual activities or specific risks. Different tools and techniques may be appropriate in different contexts. Risk assessment provides an understanding of risks, their causes, consequences and their probabilities. This provides input to decisions about: • whether an activity should be undertaken; • how to maximize opportunities; • whether risks need to be treated; • choosing between options with different risks; • prioritizing risk treatment options; • the most appropriate selection of risk treatment strategies that will bring adverse risks to a tolerable level. 4.3.5 Risk treatment Having completed a risk assessment, risk treatment involves selecting and agreeing to one or more relevant options for changing the probability of occurrence, the effect of risks, or both, and implementing these options. SIST EN 31010:2010



31010 © IEC:2009 – 11 – This is followed by a cyclical process of reassessing the new level of risk, with a view to determining its tolerability against the criteria previously set, in order to decide whether further treatment is required. 4.3.6 Monitoring and review As part of the risk management process, risks and controls should be monitored and reviewed on a regular basis to verify that • assumptions about risks remain valid; • assumptions on whi
