Risk assessment criteria
Severity (S)
| Score | Level | Description |
|---|
| 1 | Negligible | Minor impact, easily corrected, no effect on QMS effectiveness |
| 2 | Minor | Limited impact, correctable with minor effort, minimal effect on QMS |
| 3 | Moderate | Noticeable impact, requires significant effort to correct, affects QMS effectiveness |
| 4 | Major | Significant impact on QMS, may affect product quality or compliance |
| 5 | Critical | Severe impact, regulatory non-compliance, potential product safety issues |
Probability (P)
| Score | Level | Description |
|---|
| 1 | Remote | Unlikely to occur (< 1% chance) |
| 2 | Low | Could occur occasionally (1-10% chance) |
| 3 | Moderate | May occur sometimes (10-30% chance) |
| 4 | High | Likely to occur (30-60% chance) |
| 5 | Very high | Expected to occur (> 60% chance) |
Detection (D)
| Score | Level | Description |
|---|
| 1 | Almost certain | Risk will almost always be detected before impact |
| 2 | High | High probability of detection |
| 3 | Moderate | Moderate probability of detection |
| 4 | Low | Low probability of detection |
| 5 | Remote | Risk is unlikely to be detected |
Risk acceptability
| RPN Range | Risk Level | Required Action |
|---|
| 1-15 | Low | Monitor, no immediate action required |
| 16-40 | Medium | Implement risk reduction measures within 6 months |
| 41-75 | High | Implement risk reduction measures within 3 months |
| 76-125 | Critical | Immediate action required, escalate to management |

Risk categories
- OPE: Operational (equipment failure, human error, resource unavailability)
- COM: Compliance (non-compliance with ISO 13485, MDR requirements gaps)
- STR: Strategic (technology obsolescence, market changes)
- RES: Resource (key personnel loss, budget constraints)
- EXT: External (supplier failures, regulatory changes, force majeure)
Status options
- Open: Risk identified, pending control measures
- In progress: Control measures being implemented
- Monitoring: Control measures implemented, monitoring effectiveness
- Closed: Risk controlled, residual risk acceptable

Conclusions
Overall process risk assessment
Provide an overall assessment of the process risk status. Include:
- Summary of the most significant risks identified
- Assessment of whether the process is adequately controlled
- Trend compared to previous assessment (if applicable)
Actions required
List any actions required based on this risk assessment:
| Action | Priority | Responsible | Target date |
|---|
| | | |
| | | |
Recommendations for management review
Include any recommendations to be presented at the annual management review:
- Resource needs
- Process improvement opportunities
- Training needs
- Changes to procedures or controls
Next review
- Next scheduled review date: YYYY-MM-DD
- Trigger for earlier review: Describe conditions that would require an earlier review (e.g., significant non-conformity, process change, regulatory update)
