Korean smart appliance manufacturers already navigate CE marking, RoHS, REACH, and energy labelling for EU market access. The Cyber Resilience Act adds a horizontal cybersecurity layer. Article 13 places the documentation obligation on the manufacturer. Article 20 requires your EU distributor to verify that you have complied. If your appliance connects to WiFi, runs firmware, or processes user data, Annex VII technical documentation is now part of the export package. CRACheck produces the 8-document dossier in 15–25 minutes. €149 per appliance model. Your product data never leaves your browser.

You enter your product data. CRACheck structures the documentation per Article 31 + Annex VII.
Existing CE marking under the Low Voltage Directive, EMC Directive, or Radio Equipment Directive does not include the cybersecurity requirements of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847. The CRA is a separate horizontal regulation with its own essential requirements (Annex I), conformity assessment procedures (Art. 32 + Annex VIII), and documentation obligations (Art. 31 + Annex VII). CE marking under the CRA is additional to your existing CE marking.
Article 20 requires distributors to verify that the manufacturer has complied — not to comply on the manufacturer's behalf. The technical documentation obligation under Articles 13 and 31 rests with you as manufacturer. Your distributor checks that it exists; they do not create it for you.
Annex III Class I item 17 lists "smart home products with security functionalities, including smart door locks, security cameras, baby monitoring systems and alarm systems." If your smart appliance has any security functionality — user authentication, encrypted communication, access control — it may qualify as Important Class I. Even without security functions, any connected appliance with firmware is a product with digital elements under Article 3(1).

The cybersecurity documentation layer required by Art. 31 + Annex VII. Classifies your appliance, structures your security measures against Annex I requirements, outputs 8 PDFs that your EU distributor needs to verify under Article 20. This is the documentation that makes your export file CRA-complete.
CRACheck does not redesign your appliance's firmware, implement secure OTA updates, encryption, or authentication mechanisms. If your product lacks the security features described in Annex I Part I, you need engineering work before you can accurately document compliance. CRACheck documents what you have built — it does not build it.
Korean appliance manufacturers with mature security architectures can complete Layer 1 today. Those still implementing Annex I features should start engineering now and document when ready.
