Thailand and Malaysia host mature electronics manufacturing sectors with established export channels to the EU. Thai factories produce smart air conditioners, connected automotive components, and industrial control boards. Malaysian plants manufacture storage devices, networking equipment, and semiconductor assemblies. The CRA does not distinguish between these product types — Article 2(1) covers any product with a direct or indirect data connection to a device or network. If your product runs firmware and reaches the EU market, you need an Annex VII dossier. CRACheck produces 8 documents in 15–25 minutes. €149 per product. Browser-side.

You enter your product data. CRACheck structures the documentation per Article 31 + Annex VII.
If your Thai or Malaysian entity is the manufacturing entity under Article 3(13) — designing, producing, and marketing the product under its own name — you carry manufacturer obligations under the CRA. If the parent company is the manufacturer and your facility is a production site operating under their specification, the parent carries the obligation. The distinction depends on whose name and trademark the product bears. CRACheck helps clarify this through its classification questionnaire.
Modern storage devices contain firmware that manages data processing, error correction, encryption, and interface communication. A storage device with firmware is a product with digital elements under Article 3(1). Network-attached storage (NAS) devices are explicitly addressed in other CRA landing contexts. Even internal drives with firmware-level encryption or secure erase functions have cybersecurity properties that must be documented.
Free trade agreements address tariffs and market access conditions. They do not exempt products from EU product safety and cybersecurity regulations. Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 applies based on product placement on the EU market, not trade agreement status. No trade agreement substitutes for CRA conformity.
8 PDF documents generated from your data. Each cites the specific article of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 it complies with.
Determines classification based on product function. Networking equipment may be Annex III Class I (items 10, 12) or Class II (item 2 for firewalls/IDS). Storage devices and most consumer electronics are typically Default.
Art. 31 + Annex VII dossier: product design, firmware architecture, production processes, security features, quality controls.
Annex I Part I cybersecurity risk analysis adapted to your product type: firmware exploitation, physical interface attacks, data exposure, supply chain integrity.
Annex II documentation: setup guide, security configuration, firmware update procedure, factory reset, support contact, end-of-life information.
Art. 28 + Annex V with product-specific classification and applicable conformity module.
Vulnerability disclosure framework: reporting channels, response timelines, patch coordination with downstream parties.
Art. 14 ENISA notification: 24h early warning, 72h notification, 14-day final report.
Enforcement dates, product support period, firmware update schedule.

CRACheck generates the Annex VII technical file your product is missing. Classifies it, maps security features to Annex I, produces 8 structured PDFs. Your EU customers and importers need this documentation to fulfil their own verification obligations.
CRACheck does not implement firmware security, design encryption for storage devices, or build secure update mechanisms. If your product lacks the cybersecurity features Annex I requires, those engineering changes must happen before accurate documentation is possible.
Thai and Malaysian manufacturers with established quality processes can typically generate Layer 1 documentation for existing products immediately. Products requiring engineering upgrades should be planned now with the December 2027 deadline in mind.
