It approves only when a named data owner has signed off, the data classification and a bounded scope are recorded, a reconciliation plan and rollback exist, and reconciliation evidence is captured after the change; it blocks testing against production, scope expansion under an existing approval, missing owner sign-off/reconciliation/rollback, or copying regulated data to a third-party tool without a data-flow review.",
