While 6651 devoted pages

assessment, IEC/BS 62305-2 currently
contains over 140 pages.
Each primary risk (Rn
) determined through a
long series calculations defined within the
standard. This data can sourced
in Table IEC 62305-2 Table NF.

greater than its corresponding tolerable risk (RT

01 Procedure for
deciding the need
for protection
(IEC/BS 62305-1
Figure 1). the actual risk (Rn
) less than equal
to the tolerable risk (RT
), then protection
measures are needed.:
• R1
risk loss human life (including
permanent injury)
• R2
risk loss service the public
• R3
risk loss cultural heritage
• R4
risk loss economic value
For each the first three primary risks, a
tolerable risk (RT
) set.
