Risk - Compliance References
The following are just some of the numerous compliance references for this topic:
GENERAL
Concepts used in the risk module may be helpful with risk management systems based on the
standard AS/NZS 4360 “Risk management”. Originating in Australia and New Zealand, this
standard has attained a wide level of acceptance internationally as a generic
framework for establishing a risk management system.
QUALITY
ISO 9001:2008 seems to carefully avoid mentioning risk, however, there are various elements
of the standard where an organisation seeking to meet
the requirements of that standard can make use of risk assessments. For example:
-
Customer-related processes
A contractor may perform a risk assessment before submitting a tender -
Design and development
Risk may be assessed at various stages of the design process -
Purchasing
A purchaser may perform a risk assessment before preparing a tender invitation, or when adjudicating tenders -
Measurement and monitoring
A risk assessment may help to select an appropriate level of inspection, testing, supervision etc. for a particular process or project -
Nonconforming product
A risk assessment may help to decide on appropriate action when nonconforming product has been detected
