ED Decision 2014/012/R
THE MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE
(a) Change can introduce new hazards, impact the appropriateness and/or effectiveness of existing safety risk mitigation strategies. Changes may be external to the organisation, or internal.
(b) A formal process for the management of change should take into account the following considerations:
(1) criticality of systems and activities;
(2) stability of systems and operational environments; and
(3) past performance.
(c) System description is one of the fundamental preliminary activities in the planning of the safety management system, to determine a baseline hazard analysis for the baseline system.
As part of the formal process of the management of change, the system description and the baseline hazard analysis should be reviewed periodically, even if circumstances of change are not present, to determine their continued validity.
When changes to the system are made, and periodically thereafter, the aerodrome operator should go over its system and its actual operational environment, in order to make sure it continues to be fully aware of the circumstances under which the provision of services takes place.
With regard to the management of change and safety (risk) assessments related to changes, see also ADR.OR.B.040 and GM1 ADR.OR.B.040(f).
