Your Indian startup just closed Series A. The EU market is in the expansion plan. Your investor is asking about regulatory risk. Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 applies to your product from day one of EU market entry. Article 3(1) makes you the manufacturer. CRACheck generates the Annex VII documentation that demonstrates regulatory readiness. 15 minutes. €149. Show the board you have it covered.

Post-Series A, the board expects execution on the EU expansion plan. The first question from the lead investor is not about sales pipelines — it is about regulatory risk. European regulations that can block market access or create financial liability. Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 is the newest one. Article 64 penalties of up to €15 million or 2.5% of worldwide annual turnover. Article 2(1) applies from the moment you place your product on the EU market. The investor does not need a 50-page regulatory readiness report. They need to see that you have assessed the CRA and produced the documentation. CRACheck generates 8 PDF documents under Art. 31 + Annex VII in 15–25 minutes. €149. 100% browser-side. Board-ready artefact.

How it works

Assess CRA applicability

Does your product have a data connection and will it be available on the EU market? If yes to both, Article 2(1) applies. Use the free CRACheck classifier.

Classify the product

Default (90%), Important Class I, or Class II. Classification determines the conformity assessment path and whether a notified body is needed.

Three mistakes to avoid

❌

COMMON MISTAKE

"We will handle regulatory compliance after we achieve product-market fit in the EU"

Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 applies from the moment you make your product available on the EU market. Article 13(12) requires technical documentation before market placement. There is no "product-market fit first, compliance later" path. The documentation must exist before the first EU customer.

❌

COMMON MISTAKE

"The CRA fine risk is theoretical — no one will enforce against a startup"

Article 64(5)(c) of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 requires authorities to consider the "size, in particular with regard to microenterprises and small and medium sized-enterprises, including start-ups." The fine may be adjusted for startup size — but the obligation exists regardless. And the reputational damage of non-compliance in front of EU enterprise clients matters more than the fine.

❌

COMMON MISTAKE

"We will hire a European compliance firm during Series B"

A European compliance firm charges €15,000–€25,000 for a regulatory readiness assessment. At Series A, that is 3–5% of the round. CRACheck costs €149 — and produces the actual Annex VII documentation, not just a readiness report. The Series B budget can go to market expansion instead of regulatory assessment.

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 is your responsibility as the manufacturer.

We guarantee structure and legal references. We do not guarantee acceptance by a market surveillance authority or by an investor's due diligence team.

CRACheck is not legal advice. For comprehensive EU market entry regulatory strategy, consult a qualified lawyer or regulatory consultancy.

Frequently asked questions

Does the CRA apply from day one of EU market entry?

Yes. Article 13(12) of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 requires manufacturers to draw up technical documentation before placing a product on the market. The documentation must exist before your first EU customer. There is no grace period for new market entrants.

How do I present CRA compliance to my board?

Present three things: (1) CRA applies to your product from EU market entry (Art. 2(1)), (2) penalties are up to €15M or 2.5% of worldwide turnover (Art. 64(2)), (3) you have produced the Annex VII documentation (show the 8-PDF dossier). Cost: €149. Time: 15 minutes. Risk: mitigated.

Will EU investors care about CRA compliance during due diligence?

EU-focused VCs and strategic investors are adding CRA compliance to their due diligence checklists. A startup that cannot demonstrate CRA readiness for its EU expansion plan signals regulatory risk — which affects valuation and deal terms.

Is CRACheck enough for full EU regulatory compliance?

CRACheck addresses Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 — the Cyber Resilience Act. EU market entry may also involve GDPR, the AI Act (if applicable), product-specific regulations, and potentially NIS2 (if applicable). CRACheck covers the CRA. Other regulations require separate compliance efforts.

Is it a subscription?

No. One-time payment. 30 days editing, 10 regenerations.

Can I request a refund?

Art. 16(m) Directive (EU) 2011/83. Activation = express consent. Refunds only for reproducible technical failures.

What if the regulation changes?

Regenerate at no additional cost during your licence period.
