5.4 Overview of <strong>Risk</strong> Analysis 风 险 分 析 的 概 述<br />

The complexity of a risk analysis is a function of the number of factors that can<br />

affect the risk and there is a continuous spectrum of methods available to<br />

assess risk. The methods range from a strictly relative ranking to rigorous<br />

calculation. The methods generally represent a range of precision for the<br />

resulting risk analysis (see 6.4). Any particular analysis may not yield usable<br />

results due to a lack of data, low-quality data or the use of an approach that<br />

does not adequately differentiate the risks represented by the equipment items.<br />

Further, analysis results may not be realistic. Therefore, the risk analysis should<br />

be validated before decisions are made based on the analysis results.<br />
