The key trigger for initiating Re-Entry is any disturbance to the certification boundary of a system. That boundary defines what is covered by the current safety certification and approval. If you alter what’s inside that boundary—such as changing interfaces, adding or removing components, or modifying how the system operates—you’re potentially changing the risk profile. Re-entry procedures are then needed to reassess hazards, update controls, and ensure all safety requirements are still met before entry is allowed.

Why the other ideas aren’t the best fit: initiating Re-Entry solely after a risk assessment is completed happens as part of the process, not as the trigger. Finishing maintenance work doesn’t automatically require Re-Entry unless the work changes the boundary. Replacing a major component is indeed a boundary disturbance, but the statement covers all such disturbances, not just one scenario, making the boundary-disturbance criterion the most comprehensive and correct trigger.
