Your factory in Dongguan produces smart home devices for European brands and for your own Amazon store. The testing lab down the road handles CE, FCC and RoHS. None of them offer CRA documentation services yet. Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 requires Annex VII technical documentation for every connected product you export to the EU. CRACheck generates it in-house — no European consultant, no lab appointment, no NDA.

Dongguan and Ningbo are home to thousands of electronics factories exporting connected devices to Europe. The local compliance ecosystem — testing labs, certification agencies, freight forwarders — is built for EMC, RED, RoHS and REACH. CRA is a new layer that none of these local providers cover yet. You cannot wait for your Dongguan testing lab to develop CRA capability. CRACheck is a self-service tool: your engineering team enters product data, generates 8 PDF documents per Annex VII in 15-25 minutes, downloads the ZIP and delivers to your EU customer. €149 per product. Browser-side — your product data stays in your factory.

Factory-level CRA mistakes

LOCAL LABS

We will wait for our local testing lab to offer CRA services

CRA enforcement starts 11 December 2027. Local testing labs in Dongguan and Ningbo are focused on EMC, RED and safety testing. CRA cybersecurity documentation is a different discipline — it requires software engineering knowledge, not lab equipment. Waiting for your local lab means missing the deadline. CRACheck generates documentation now.

ART. 3(13)

We produce for EU brands — they handle compliance

When you produce under OEM contract, the EU brand is typically the manufacturer under Art. 3(13). But they will contractually require you to deliver Annex VII documentation because you have the engineering data. When you sell under your own brand on Amazon, you are the manufacturer. Either way, you need the documentation.

DATA SECURITY

CRA documentation requires sharing our product data with a European consultant

CRACheck processes everything in your browser. No product data is sent to any server. No NDA required. No IP disclosure to third parties. Your firmware architecture, vulnerability handling processes and SBOM stay in your factory.

What each CRACheck dossier contains: 8 documents

CRACheck vs. local testing lab

● LAYER 1

What CRACheck does

Self-service CRA documentation for factories. Your engineer enters product data. CRACheck structures it per Annex VII. Download the ZIP. Deliver to your EU customer.

∅ LAYER 2

What CRACheck does NOT do

CRACheck does not perform CE testing, EMC measurements or RED certification. Your local lab handles those. CRACheck handles the CRA cybersecurity documentation layer they cannot.

Your lab handles CE. CRACheck handles CRA. Together, your export documentation is complete.

CRA penalty regime — Article 64 of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847

Article 64 establishes three tiers of administrative fines. Penalties are calculated per undertaking — but non-compliance on a single product can trigger inspection of your entire portfolio.

What CRACheck guarantees and what it does not

CRACheck generates a structured document according to Article 31 and Annex VII of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 from the information you provide. The accuracy, completeness and truthfulness of that information is your responsibility as the manufacturer.

We guarantee that the document structure follows Article 31 and Annex VII of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 and that the legal references cited are correct as of the last verification date. We do not guarantee that a specific document will be accepted by a market surveillance authority in a specific case or by a commercial buyer in a procurement process.

CRACheck is not legal advice. For specific situations, consult a lawyer or specialised regulatory consultancy.

Frequently asked questions

Can our factory quality team use CRACheck without cybersecurity expertise?
CRACheck guides users through each Annex VII section with clear prompts. The person entering data should know the product's firmware version, connectivity type, update mechanism and security features. This is typically the engineer who designed the product or the quality manager who handles CE documentation.
Is CRACheck available in Chinese?
CRACheck generates documents in English. The interface is in English. Article 31.4 requires documentation in a language acceptable to relevant authorities — English is accepted across the EU.
Can we use CRACheck for products we manufacture for EU brands (OEM)?
Yes. Generate the documentation using your product's engineering data. Deliver the 8-document ZIP to the EU brand. They review, adapt the Declaration of Conformity and sign it as manufacturer under Art. 3(13).
Do we need one CRACheck licence per unit produced or per product model?
Per product model. One licence generates documentation for one product with digital elements. If you manufacture 100,000 units of the same smart plug model, one licence covers the model. Different models with different firmware or connectivity need separate licences.
Is this a subscription?
No. One-time payment. The licence includes 30 days of editing and 10 regenerations. The downloaded PDF is yours to keep.
Can I request a refund?
Pursuant to Art. 16(m) of Directive (EU) 2011/83 on consumer rights, by activating the licence you give express consent for the immediate generation of the digital content, waiving the 14-day withdrawal period. Refunds are accepted only for reproducible technical failures.
What if the regulation changes?
If the regulation changes during the validity of your licence, you can regenerate the document with the updated version of the generator at no additional cost.
⚠️ Important notice: CRACheck is a self-assessment documentation tool, not legal advice and not a third-party audit. The document under Article 31 and Annex VII of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 is generated from your input data. You are responsible for the accuracy of the data you provide. CRACheck does not replace a qualified professional assessment.
