ADOPTED_FROM:ISO/IEC Guide 73:2002 This Guide provides standards writers with generic definitions of risk management terms. It is intended as a top-level generic document in the preparation or revision of standards that include aspects of risk management. The aim of this Guide is to promote a coherent approach to the description of risk management activities and the use of risk management terminology. Its purpose is to contribute towards mutual understanding amongst the members of ISO and IEC rather than provide guidance on risk management practice. ISO/IEC Guide 51 deals with safety aspects. NOTE 1 The term “standard” — used throughout this Guide — includes Technical Reports and Guides. NOTE 2 Such standards can deal exclusively with risk management or can include clauses specific to risk management.
