Who are we?

In today's increasingly complex and fast-changing environment, effective risk management is more important than ever.

ISO/TC 262, Risk Management, develops internationally recognised standards that help organizations identify, assess, and manage risk, enabling better decision-making and supporting the achievement of strategic objectives.

The committee's work extends across a broad range of risk-related challenges, helping organizations strengthen resilience, reduce the impact of accidents, disasters, and technical system failures, and improve their ability to respond to and recover from disruptive events. Through collaboration with experts from around the world, ISO/TC 262 seeks to develop a coherent and comprehensive family of standards that reflects market needs and promotes a consistent, practical approach to risk management across all sectors.

ISO/TC 262 has responsibility for the below standards:

• ISO 31000 -- Risk management -- Guidelines
• (Handbook) ISO 31000 -- Risk management -- A practical guide
• IEC 31010 -- Risk management -- Risk assessment techniques
• ISO 31022 -- Risk management -- Guidelines for the management of legal risk
• ISO 31030 -- Managing travel risks -- Guidance for organizations
• ISO 31031 -- Managing risk for youth and school trips
• ISO 31050 -- Guidance for managing emerging risks to enhance resilience
• ISO 31073 -- Risk management -- Vocabulary

 

Apart from these standards the technical committees is also continuously reviewing new areas where standards can support organizations.
