Do risks need to be highlighted within an SOP or can you refer to them in a separate document?

There is no mandatory requirement to list risks in an SOP. On the technical side, the overall risk assessment per test or calibration method should be performed according to your risk management procedure. You should, however, document specific controls in the SOPs that are put in place to keep the risk at an acceptable level. i.e. the controls decided on during the risk assessment. Ensure you state clearly if some action is mandatory. For example Shake for 10 min. Do not leave samples standing after 10 minutes, filter immediately.
