<accesscontrol>members of projects</accesscontrol> Assessment describes the general structure of the products of risk or impact assessments.

• A risk assessment product is a description of a certain piece of reality
• The descriptions are produced according to the use purposes of the product
• The risk assessment product is a description of all the relevant phenomena in relation to the chosen endpoints and their relations as a causal network
• The risk assessment product combines value judgements with the descriptions of physical phenomena
• The basic building block of the causal description is a variable, i.e. everything is described as variables.
• All variables in a causal network description must be causally related to the endpoints of the assessment.
