## 3.9.5. ECHA IT Change Management Board (iCAB) 

The ECHA IT Change Management Board manages detailed timing of ECHA IT changes and does the final verification of the maturity of the changes. Amongst others, iCAB verifies that sufficient communication will take place to relevant parties about maintenance breaks and upcoming changes. iCAB typically will not perform this communication itself; it has a final verifying and gatekeeping role for any ECHA IT changes. 

The ECHA IT Change Management Board 

• makes decisions on change proposals recorded into ECHA IT Change Register, verifying that 

o proposed changes have been well defined and managed in the earlier CABs, (for example product / service CABs) including the impact analysis of the change, 

o the communication about the proposed change has been planned and that the communication has been arranged by the change originator, 

• decides on detailed timing of the changes, 

o taking into account the impact of ECHA events, 

o taking into account the availability of the specific contractor resources required for the work, and 

o proactively seeks deployment solutions that fulfil the needs of the requesting parties. 

• keeps records of the meetings, including iCAB decisions, and 

• can be called up ad-hoc in case of emergency changes, composed only of the selected key person required for making the decisions at hand (including the iCAB Change Manager). 

The iCAB is chaired by the iCAB Change Manager.
