Information, Target Group, Requirements
The efficacy of a practiced risk management system is often of vital, even existential importance for organizations. This calls for a system that ensures the necessary transparency and reproducibility. Risk management constitutes this system and is a cyclic process to identify, assess and control corporate risks. The ÖNORM ONR 49001 accomplishes and describes an internationally recognized management system standard that defines the elements of a risk management system understandably and verifiably, and at the same time can be used as a basis for certifications. ONR 49001 essentially corresponds to the intent and content of ISO 31000, but its aim and actual contents go beyond this. The elements of the risk management system are shown more differentiated so as to ensure an objective verifiability.
From medium-sized enterprises through to major industrial enterprises, from service providers to producers – across all sectors and irrespective of the type of company, you too can be certified pursuant to ONR 49001. Every company that wishes to implement an in-depth risk management system in excess of the risk-based approach of management system standards and demonstrate this on the market too through a certification, would do well to decide on a certification pursuant to ONR 49001.
A documented risk management system that is integrated in and lived by the organization is required.
Your certificate is valid for three years and may be used for advertising purposes in accordance with the certification regulations.

Advantages
Through a certification, your company demonstrates that it is both aware of and manages corporate risks as well as risks in processes accordingly. Apart from risks that are familiar in the realization of services and products, it also identifies and controls risks in the context of the organization. This should ensure a continuous and consistent rendering of services.
A functioning risk management system consequently leads to a reduction of costs through a predictive management of measures. It should help supply information and analyses based on evidence, which in turn can be used as a basis for comprehensible decisions on how to handle certain risks and how to choose between the available options.
The main benefits include:
- Understanding a risk as well as its possible consequences for goals and targets
- Providing information for decision-makers
- Contributing to an understanding of the risk, thus making it easier to make a correct choice between alternative actions
- Determining the most important contributors to risks and weak spots in systems and organizations
- Comparing risks with those in alternative systems, technologies or procedures
- Identifying and reporting risks and uncertainties
- Helping establish priorities
- Determining the root cause of incidents and helping to avoid new incidents
- Selecting various ways to handle the risk
- Satisfying official requirements
- Supplying information that can be used as a basis for assessing the tenability of risks according to given criteria
- Assessing the risks for the end-of-life disposal
Thanks to a certified system according to ISO standards (e.g. 9001 or 14001), the interaction between processes is already documented and key processes in planning, reporting and the management of measures are designed, which is why experience has shown that establishing a risk management system pursuant to ONR 49001 can be realized very efficiently with manageable extra effort. Existing processes can be integrated in the risk assessment, thus allowing the exploitation of synergies between risk management and management systems according to common standards. The risk management system can be established along the PDCA cycle, thus greatly simplifying a bottom-up assessment of the process risks and allowing the ideal consideration of different process orientations with respect to quality, the environment or industrial safety.
