Your European client just added a Cyber Resilience Act clause to the contract. Article 13(5) of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 requires manufacturers to exercise due diligence on third-party components — including software you develop. If you cannot produce the technical documentation under Annex VII, your client has grounds to terminate. CRACheck generates it.

Indian IT services companies develop software deployed in the EU market every day. Until now, no EU regulation required the development partner to produce cybersecurity documentation. Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 changes that. Your European client is the manufacturer under Article 3(1). Article 13(5) makes them responsible for due diligence on components sourced from third parties. In practice, they will pass that obligation to you via contract. CRACheck generates 8 PDF documents structured under Article 31 and Annex VII in 15–25 minutes. €149 per product. 100% browser-side — no data leaves your machine.

Three mistakes to avoid

COMMON MISTAKE

"The CRA is our client's problem, not ours — we just write code"

Your client is the manufacturer under Article 3(1) of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847. Article 13(5) requires them to exercise due diligence on components sourced from third parties. That includes your software. In practice, your client will require Annex VII documentation as a contract deliverable. If you cannot provide it, the next vendor will.

COMMON MISTAKE

"We already have ISO 27001 — that should be enough for CRA"

ISO 27001 certifies your organisation's information security management system. The CRA requires product-level documentation under Annex VII — a description of the specific product's design, development, vulnerability handling processes, SBOM, and cybersecurity risk assessment. They are complementary, not interchangeable. Annex VII §5 allows you to reference harmonised standards, but the documentation itself must exist.

COMMON MISTAKE

"The CRA only applies to hardware and IoT — our SaaS is exempt"

Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 applies to products with digital elements made available on the market with a direct or indirect data connection. Article 3(1) defines "product with digital elements" as a software or hardware product and its remote data processing solutions. If your software is deployed as a product in the EU market — even as a component of your client's product — it falls within scope.

∅ WHAT CRACHECK DOES NOT DO

What falls outside CRACheck

CRACheck does not determine whether the CRA applies to your specific product, does not replace the conformity assessment your EU client must perform under Art. 32, and does not substitute legal advice on contract liability allocation.

We document. You and your client handle the conformity assessment and legal allocation.

What CRACheck guarantees and what it does not

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

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 your EU client in a specific procurement process.

CRACheck is not legal advice. For specific situations — including the allocation of CRA obligations between you and your EU client — consult a qualified lawyer or regulatory consultancy.

Frequently asked questions

Does the CRA apply to Indian IT companies that develop software for EU clients?
Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 applies to products with digital elements made available on the EU market. If your EU client places the software on the market, they are the manufacturer under Article 3(1). Article 13(5) requires manufacturers to exercise due diligence on third-party components. In practice, your EU client will contractually require you to provide Annex VII documentation for the software you develop.
Who is the "manufacturer" — the Indian developer or the EU client?
Under Article 3(1) of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847, the manufacturer is the natural or legal person who develops or manufactures a product with digital elements, or has a product designed or manufactured, and markets it under their name or trademark. If your EU client markets the product under their brand, they are the manufacturer. You are a component supplier. But Article 13(5) makes the manufacturer responsible for due diligence on your components — and that responsibility will appear in your contract.
Can CRACheck documentation be used as a contract deliverable?
Yes. CRACheck generates 8 PDF documents structured under Article 31 and Annex VII of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847. The output is designed to be delivered to your EU client as part of the product handover. Your client integrates it into their conformity assessment under Article 32.
We develop multiple products for different EU clients. Do we need a separate licence for each?
Yes. Each CRACheck licence generates documentation for one product. Each product with digital elements requires its own Annex VII dossier. Volume pricing is available for 10+ products.
Is it 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?
Under Article 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 a reproducible technical failure.
What if the regulation changes?
If the regulation changes during your licence period, you can regenerate the document with the updated version of the generator at no additional cost.
