Spanish term or phrase: Estudio Alcance Consecuencias (EAC)
Hi

I am translating a document relating to the implementation of a new standard within a particular company.
There is a list of studies etc that need to be carried out and I am unsure how to translate "Estudio Alcance Consecuencias (EAC)". This is a bullet point so there is not much context. Other studies in the list are: HAZOP; Estudios Cuantitativos de Riesgo; Identificación SIF

Explanation:
Both of these terms are used in describing this types of studies, often together with "Safety Integrity levels" "layer of protection analysis". I believe there are multiple types of consequence analysis, these links may give you a jump start on your research

agree  Richard Boulter: Yes, since 'risk assessment' is specifically covered in another bullet, 'long-term consequence study/analysis' seems to fit the context.
