'''ISO/IEC 31010''' is a standard concerning [[risk management]] codified by The [[International Organization for Standardization]] and The [[International Electrotechnical Commission]] (IEC). The full name of the standard is ISO.IEC 31010:2019 – Risk management – Risk assessment techniques.

==Risk assessment steps==
*identifying the risk and the reason for its occurrence
*identifying the consequences if the risk occurs
*identifying the probability of the risk occurring once more
*identifying factors that reduce the consequences or probability of the risk

==Scope==
The ISO 31010 standard supports the [[ISO 31000]] standard. It supplies information as to the selection and application of [[risk assessment]] techniques.

==Risk assessment and the risk management process==

Risk assessment is part of the core elements of risk management defined in [[ISO 31000]], which are:
*communication and consultation
*establishing the context
*risk assessment (risk identification, risk analysis, risk evaluation)
*risk treatment
