Objective
Verification that identified active threats are real.

Issues
The risk assessment function provides an overview of risks to pipeline integrity. The Risk Verification function provides guidance on additional monitoring, measurements or quantitative models that could be used for a more detailed risk calculation of each active problem. For time-related risks, this includes an assessment of the growth rate of pipeline defects.
 
Deliverables
Verifying and updating the results of the initial risk assessment.
