Risk-Based Inspection

The chosen approach may be selected at the beginning of the analysis
process and carried through to completion, or the approach may be changed
(i.e. the analysis may become more or less quantitative) as the analysis
progresses. However, consistency of approach will be vital to comparing
results from one assessment to the next.
If the risk determined using any approach is below the acceptance criterion
specified by the management of the organization conducting the analysis, no
further analysis, inspection or mitigation steps are typically required within the
analysis time frame as long as the conditions and assumptions used in the
analysis remain valid. The spectrum of risk analysis should be considered to
be a continuum with qualitative and quantitative approaches being the two
extremes of the continuum and everything in between being a semiquantitative
approach (see 6.3.4 and Figure 3). Use of expert opinion will
typically be included in most risk assessments regardless of type or level.
