Full title and description

DIN IEC 62198:2002-09 — Risikomanagement für Projekte - Anwendungsleitfaden (adoption of IEC 62198:2001). This is the German (DIN) publication of the IEC guidance on project risk management (application guidelines), published as a national adoption in September 2002.

Abstract

Application guidelines for project risk management that provide a general introduction to the processes, subprocesses and influencing factors of risk management in projects with technological content. The document gives practical guidance on implementing risk-management activities across project phases and on tailoring the approach to specific projects.

General information

• Status: Withdrawn / superseded (national adoption superseded when IEC published a revised edition and subsequently by EN/DIN transposition).
• Publication date: 01 September 2002 (2002-09).

• ICS / categories: 03.100.01 (Dependability; project and management guidance).
• Edition / version: DIN adoption, 2002-09 (aligned with IEC 62198:2001, edition 1).
• Number of pages: 19 (German DIN publication); IEC base publication (IEC 62198:2001) 37 pages.

Scope

Applies to projects (particularly those with technological content) and provides guidelines for managing risk and uncertainty across project life‑cycle phases. It outlines a systematic process for identifying, analysing, evaluating, treating and monitoring project risks, and gives organizational and process-level guidance for implementing project risk management. The later IEC 62198:2013 edition restructured the guidance and aligned it with ISO 31000.

Key topics and requirements

• Introduction to project risk management concepts and terminology.
• Risk-management process steps: identification, analysis, evaluation, response planning, implementation and monitoring.
• Guidance on tailoring risk-management activities to project phase and context.
• Organizational roles, responsibilities and integration of risk management into project governance.
• Practical application guidelines and examples for project-level risk assessment and mitigation.
• Relationship to broader risk-management principles (later editions align with ISO 31000).

Typical use and users

Used by project managers, program managers, risk managers, systems engineers, project control offices, consultants and organizations implementing or improving project risk-management processes. It is intended to inform project-level practice rather than to serve as a certification specification.
