1.0 RISK ASSESSMENT
Based on the System Level Impact Assessment the Direct / Indirect Impact system is determined. And based on FMEA (Failure Mode
Effective Analysis) various failure modes of the system components are determined and the extent of qualification or mitigation
activities are derived and documented.
The risk rating is determined based upon component failure Severity (S), frequency of Occurrence (O) and likelihood of Detection (D).
The Severity (S) shall be rated, determined and documented (Low=1, Medium=2, High=3).
DESCRIPTION SEVERITY (S)
No Impact on Product Quality, Overall System Performance and/or Functionality, Operator Safety, exception or 1
gap with respect to regulations or standards (GxP, EU, GAMP, ASTM, etc.)
Minor Impact on Product Quality, Overall System Performance and/or Functionality and Operator Safety. 2
Major Impact on Product Quality, Overall System Performance and/or Functionality, Operator Safety and 3
Exception or gap with respect to regulations or standards (GxP, EU, GAMP, ASTM, etc.)
The frequency of Occurrence (O) shall be rated, determined and documented (Low=1, Medium=2, High=3).
DESCRIPTION OCCURRENCE (O)
Occurrence is extremely rare or unlikely 1
Occurrence is occasionally 2
Occurrence is almost every time the system is used 3
The likelihood of Detection (D) shall be rated, determined and documented (Low=3, Medium=2, High=1).
Page 2 of 15
DESCRIPTION DETECTION(D)
100% detection or inspection technique is in place specifically for the failure like an alarm, interlock, and 1
error message or system shutdown.
Detected by indirect means or by observation like indirect indication or visual inspection. 2
RPN (Risk Priority Number) = Severity of failure (S) X frequency of Occurrence (O). X Detection (D)
The Risk level will then be based on the following table.
RATINGS RISK
RPN 3 Low (L)
9 ≥ RPN > 3 Medium (M)
RPN > 12 High (H)
Identify the post mitigation risk level by rating S,O & D and calculate the RPN no for the same
