Reasonably foreseeable misuse

A hazard and risk assessment should identify and address the hazards and hazardous events that could occur under all reasonably foreseeable circumstances (including fault conditions and reasonably foreseeable misuse). 

A statement of the intended use of the SRECS and any measures that can be necessary to prevent reasonably foreseeable misuse. 

The assessment should cover the proposed normal use of the product and treated material if applicable. In addition, the realistic worst-case scenarios should include reasonably foreseeable misuse, such as ingestion by a child, but not accidents or attempted suicides). It should also include relevant production and disposal issues for both the product and treated material. Therefore, the risk assessment should cover the entire the lifecycle of the product.

Risk This is the probability that an adverse effect will occur under specific conditions of exposure, such as normal use or reasonably foreseeable misuse. It will be readily seen that risk is a function of both hazard and exposure. Most importantly, there is no risk without exposure, no matter how hazardous a substance may be. 

Product safety The probability that harm is unlikely to occur under specific conditions of use, including normal use or reasonably foreseeable misuse. A safe product is one that either presents no adverse health effects or only minimal risk of adverse health effects. 

In determining the intended uses (Step 1), the manufacturer shall account for reasonably foreseeable misuse. This does include normal carelessness but not deliberate misuse. 

The user and the environment comprise the final level of the system interaction. The level of assurance for protection and safety on system level depends on the implementation by the manufacturer/supplier and also on the actions of the end user. This part of system level safety is about understanding the intended use of a product, and mitigating reasonable and foreseeable misuse that may occur. IEEE PI625, the Standard for Rechargeable Batteries for Portable Computing, was the first standard to encompass all levels of the battery manufacturing process and include the customer experience. 

Identification of hazards is included in all modes of operation and all reasonably foreseeable circumstances including fault conditions and misuse. Considerations include ... 

Determine the hazards and hazardous events of the EUC and the EUC control system under all reasonably foreseeable circumstances (including fault conditions and misuse). This shall include all relevant human factor issues, and shall give particular attention to abnormal or A hazard is an incipient condition and a hazardous situation occurs only when the condition is manifested AND the various layers of protection are breached. The accident itself (the hazardous situation) with a balance of probability of escalating to a major or catastrophic outcome. The storm scenario presented here is infrequent. 

It must be compatible with the product s chemistry, required efficacy, and use when used as directed or under reasonably foreseeable conditions of misuse. 

It is generally accepted in safety engineering that acceptable safety risk levels must be maintained despite reasonably foreseeable use or misuse. It is impossible to make anything perfectly safe - but people are known to behave in certain ways, so safety engineering should take this into account. 

Hazard and risk analyaia To identify ttie hazards of the EUC arul its control system (in all modes of operation) and for all reasonably foreseeable drcumstartces induding fault conditions and misuse To identify the event sequences leading to these hazards To determine die EUC risk associated widi tire identified hazards. 

Hazard and risk analysis To determine the hazards and hazardous events of the EUC and the EUC control system (in all modes of operation), for all reasonably foreseeable circumstances including fault conditions and misuse. To determine the event sequences leading to the hazardous events determined. For the preliminary hazard and risk analysis, the scope will comprise the EUC, the EUC control system and human factors. Further h r analysis may be needed later as the design develops. Information acquired in step 2 Description of and information relating to the hazard and risk analysis. 

Promotion of the quality of life. The setting of standards of safety implies the definition of what is acceptable as a reasonable level of risk in the foreseeable use or even misuse of a product. Safety aspects play a very important role in current standards work. 

Foreseeable use not addressed in standard (also consider reasonable misuse ) ...
