You manufacture electronic components in Taiwan and ship them to EU integrators. Your buyer's compliance team has started requesting cybersecurity documentation under Annex VII of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847. CRACheck generates it from your engineering specs.

Article 13(5) of the Cyber Resilience Act requires manufacturers to exercise due diligence when integrating components. Your EU buyer is the manufacturer of the final product — but they need documented evidence from you. If you cannot provide structured cybersecurity documentation aligned with Annex VII, procurement teams will source from a competitor who can. CRACheck generates an 8-document dossier in 15–25 minutes from your browser. €149 per product. No data leaves your device.

Common mistakes

SUPPLY CHAIN MISCONCEPTION

"We only make components, the CRA does not apply to us"

Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 applies to products with digital elements made available on the EU market, including components placed on the market separately. Article 3(6) defines a component as software or hardware intended for integration into an electronic information system. If your component has firmware, processes data, or connects to a network, it falls within scope.

DOCUMENTATION GAP

"Our EU buyer handles all the compliance paperwork"

Article 13(5) requires manufacturers to exercise due diligence when integrating components from third parties. Your buyer's compliance team cannot complete their Annex VII technical documentation without structured cybersecurity data from you — vulnerability handling procedures, SBOM, risk assessment. If you do not provide it, they carry the gap as a compliance risk.

CLASSIFICATION BLIND SPOT

"Components are always classified as Default products"

Annex III lists specific component categories under Important Class I — including microcontrollers with security-related functionalities (item 14), network interfaces (item 10), and routers and switches (item 12). If your component matches any Annex III category, it requires a stricter conformity assessment under Article 32.

What the ZIP contains

8 PDF documents generated from your data. Each cites the specific article of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 it complies with.

1

Product Classifier

Determines if your component is Default, Important Class I, or Class II under Annex III. Critical for your EU buyer's conformity assessment path.

2

Technical Documentation

Structured dossier per Art. 31 + Annex VII covering design, development, production, and vulnerability handling. Formatted for direct integration into your customer's technical file.

3

Risk Assessment

Cybersecurity risk evaluation per Annex I Part I. Maps threats specific to your component's integration context — firmware vulnerabilities, interface attack surfaces, supply chain vectors.

4

User Information

Instructions and security information per Annex II. Adapted for B2B component integration — what the downstream manufacturer needs to know about secure deployment.

5

Declaration of Conformity

EU Declaration per Art. 28 + Annex V. Pre-structured with manufacturer data, component identification, and applicable essential requirements.

6

CVD Policy

Coordinated vulnerability disclosure policy. Documents your reporting channel, response timelines, and coordination procedures with downstream manufacturers and ENISA.

7

Notification Template

Art. 14 notification structure for ENISA: 24-hour early warning, 72-hour vulnerability notification, 14-day final report. Pre-formatted for your component context. Art. 14(2): early warning within 24h, notification within 72h, final report within 14 days.

Two layers

● LAYER 1

What CRACheck does

CRACheck generates 8 structured PDF documents aligned with Art. 31 and Annex VII of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847. It classifies your component, maps your cybersecurity measures to the essential requirements of Annex I, and produces a dossier your EU buyer can integrate directly into their technical file. This is the documentation layer — the part you can automate now.

∅ LAYER 2

What CRACheck does not do

CRACheck does not redesign your firmware architecture. It does not conduct penetration testing on your component. It does not negotiate with notified bodies on your behalf. If your component falls under Annex III Class I or II, you may need third-party conformity assessment under Article 32 — CRACheck documents your product, but the assessment itself is a separate process.

Most Taiwanese component manufacturers need Layer 1 first. The documentation is what your EU buyer is asking for today. Layer 2 comes when enforcement requires it.

What CRACheck guarantees and what it does not

CRACheck generates a structured document aligned with Article 31 and Annex VII of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 based on the information you provide. The accuracy, completeness, and truthfulness of the input data is your responsibility as the component manufacturer.

We guarantee that the document structure follows Art. 31 + Annex VII and that all legal references cited in the output are correct. We do not guarantee that a specific document will be accepted by a market surveillance authority in a particular case or by a commercial buyer in a procurement process.

CRACheck is not legal advice. For situations specific to your component's classification, supply chain position, or conformity assessment path, consult a regulatory attorney or specialised compliance consultancy.

Frequently asked questions

Does the CRA apply to components that are not final products?
Yes. Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 covers products with digital elements made available on the EU market. Article 3(6) defines "component" as software or hardware intended for integration into an electronic information system. If your component contains firmware, handles data, or establishes network connections, it is within scope — even if it is never sold directly to an end user.
Who is responsible for CRA compliance — us or the integrator?
Both carry distinct obligations. You, as the manufacturer of the component under Article 3(13), are responsible for your product's compliance with the essential cybersecurity requirements of Annex I. The integrator, as manufacturer of the final product, must exercise due diligence under Article 13(5) when incorporating your component. They need your documentation to fulfil their own obligations.
Do we need an authorised representative in the EU?
Article 18 of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 allows a manufacturer to appoint an authorised representative in the EU by written mandate. This is optional but recommended if you do not have a legal entity within the EU. The authorised representative can keep your Declaration of Conformity and technical documentation available for market surveillance authorities.
Our component has no direct internet connection. Is it still covered?
Article 2(1) covers products with a direct or indirect logical or physical data connection to a device or network. If your component connects to a network through the system it is integrated into, the indirect connection brings it within scope.
Is this a subscription?
No. One-time payment. The licence includes 30 days of editing and 10 regenerations. The downloaded PDF is yours permanently.
Can I request a refund?
Under Article 16(m) of Directive (EU) 2011/83, activating the licence constitutes express consent for immediate generation of digital content, waiving the 14-day withdrawal right. Refunds are available only for reproducible technical failures.
What if the regulation is amended?
If the CRA text is updated during your licence validity period, you can regenerate your documents using the updated version of CRACheck at no additional cost.
