Endpoint | AIChE

Endpoint

The furthest extent in an incident sequence to which a Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) or Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA) scenario evaluation is taken in the scenario analysis. Depending on the approach used, the endpoint could be a material/energy release magnitude, a qualitative category of potential loss and harm impacts, an order-of-magnitude impact category with or without conditional modifiers, or fully quantified loss and harm impacts.
