                *Probability of occurrence of the risk

                * The effect of the risk in case of the actualization

                *Determination of the defect in case of the occurrence of the risk.

2- Significance levels of the risks, according to the risk score which is calculated by the multiplication of the probability of the occurrence of the risk and the influence score, have been indicated in "Risk Grading Matrix Table" by registering the risk numbers
