The following sections will address the steps of the risk assessment methodology described in paragraph 8 of Annex III to the Protocol.
These steps describe a structured and integrated process whereby the results of one step are relevant to subsequent steps. Additionally, the risk assessment process may need to be conducted in an iterative manner, whereby certain steps may be repeated or re-examined to increase or re-evaluate the reliability of the risk assessment. If during the process, new information arises that could change the outcome of a step, the risk assessment may need to be re-examined accordingly.
