I remember at one point the DIS version of AS9100 contained a reference to ISO 17666 Space systems – Risk management Standard. Would this Standard be a better starting point for developing an organizations risk management process?
ISO 17666:2003, Space systems - Risk management, supplies a road map to guide the risk management process at all stages in the life of a space project, regardless of its complexity, size and duration.
According to Mr. Deak, Project leader of the standard, ISO 17666:2003 will also prove useful not only in the space sector, but in any industry sector or business that aims to minimize project risks.
"The standard can be used in the organization as a user-friendly tool to implement risk management, without imposing undue restrictions. It is elaborated at such a level of detail that renders it to be sufficient as a resource to establish a framework for risk management - inside or outside the space sector."
