- Where a review is required the CAA will inform the notifier, (within 30 days), that the change cannot be implemented until the review is completed and the change approved.
- Where there is insufficient information to allow a review decision to be made the CAA will ask for further information.

Changes with severity equating to levels 1 or 2, as defined in regulation 1035/2011 Annex II, will be subject to review. (i.e. where the risk assessment has indicated a significantly high severity level).
For changes that fall into the category of not requiring approval the CAA will record the notified change and take no further action.
