CENELEC Guideline 32:2014
The CENELEC Guideline 32:2014 risk assessment system is a standard developed by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC). This guideline provides a framework for risk assessment related to electrical and electronic systems. It defines methods and processes for identifying, analyzing, and evaluating risks associated with electrical products and systems. The guideline aims to ensure the safety of electrical products and to standardize the requirements for risk assessment in this area.
| Degree of damage | Frequency of hazard exposure | Damage prevention/mitigation | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| S1: Minor damage (reversible in the short term) | F1: Infrequent to less frequent and/or short exposure duration | 1 | |
| S1: Minor damage (reversible in the short term) | F2: Frequent to constant and/or long exposure duration | P1: Prevention possible | 2 |
| S1: Minor damage (reversible in the short term) | F2: Frequent to constant and/or long exposure duration | P2: Prevention hardly possible | 3 |
| S2: Major damage (reversible in the long term) | F1: Infrequent to less frequent and/or short exposure duration | P1: Prevention possible | 3 |
| S2: Major damage (reversible in the long term) | F1: Infrequent to less frequent and/or short exposure duration | P2: Prevention hardly possible | 4 |
