AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009 – new international Standard on Risk Management due for publication late October – seminars planned for February/March

The Standard for risk management (AS/NZS 4360) was first published in 1995 and it will soon be replaced by a joint Australia/New Zealand adoption of the newly published ISO 31000:2009. In Australia and New Zealand, the new Standard will be called AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009 Risk management – Principles and guidelines.

New Zealand and Australian representatives have played a substantial role in the development of ISO 31000. For New Zealand, this was possible through financial support from the New Zealand Society for Risk Management, the Institution of Professional Engineers of New Zealand, and Air New Zealand.

Asset management – seeking feedback on new ISO work item proposal

Standards New Zealand is keen to hear from stakeholders about a new work item proposal (NWIP) on asset management that has been submitted to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) by the British Standards Institution (BSI).

Asset management is the use of systematic and coordinated activities and practices by an organisation, to achieve its strategic plan, by optimally and sustainably managing its assets and asset systems and their associated performance, risks, and expenditures, over their life cycles.

ISO tackles consumer credit scoring

A timely development in the context of the current financial crisis is the proposal to develop an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Standard on consumer credit scoring. The proposal was submitted by Austrian Standards, the ISO member for Austria.

Consumer credit scoring has been the subject of much debate. But the Basle II^* international regulations on bank's capital requirements made it an obligatory part of the process for obtaining retail credit.
