This International Standard provides a framework with which to assess, reduce and control the potential risks
that spacecraft and launch vehicle orbital stages pose to people and the environment when those space
vehicles re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and impact the Earth's surface. It is intended to be applied to the
planning, design and review of space vehicle missions for which controlled or uncontrolled re-entry is possible.
Objects that separate during the ascent phase and impact the ground are addressed in ISO 14620-2. This
International Standard complements ISO 14620-1 and ISO 17666.
This International Standard is not applicable to spacecraft containing nuclear power sources1).
