The IEC Risk Assessment Calculator is a specialized tool designed to evaluate risks based on international standards, most notably IEC 62305-2 for lightning protection. A "repack" typically refers to a modified or bundled version of this software intended for easier distribution or use in specific organizational contexts. Overview of the IEC Risk Assessment Tool
Step 5: Customize the Risk Mitigation Section
Recommend Mitigation: Generate management strategies based on the tool’s output to reduce risk to acceptable levels.
Do your risk assessment properly. Use the official standards. If you cannot afford the software, build your own calculator using Excel and the formulas published in the public annexes of IEC 61508.
- Identify Hazards and Risks: Users input information about potential hazards and risks associated with their processes and systems.
- Risk Assessment: The calculator evaluates the likelihood and potential consequences of each hazard, using a risk graph to determine the required SILs.
- SIL Determination: The calculator provides a recommended SIL for each hazard, based on the risk assessment results.
- Verification and Validation: Users can verify and validate the risk assessment results, ensuring accuracy and completeness.
Many repacks are "portable," meaning they run without a complex installation process. Compatibility:
Standard Compliance: Automates the complex mathematical formulas of IEC 62305-2, which is the global benchmark for lightning protection risk management.
Verdict: The repack is a "Residual Risk" that is NOT tolerable under any management system.
