EU CRA Checklist

This checklist based entirely on the 2024 October 10th version of the text for what is commonly known as Cyber Resilience act.

Navigating standards is no easy task, and if you have tried to read this document, it contains a lot of circular requirements: Obligations > Annex II > Technical Documentation> User Documentation> Essential Requirements.. etc...

The objective is to provide an informative checklist that allows you to focus on "must-do" requirements and measure completion. The language is partly simplified, avoiding verbosity (Product with digital elements > Product) and providing hints from the official text where needed.

While the Harmonised European standard is not yet released and there is no official risk assessment methodology recommended, we can surmise enough context from the other requirements.

Detailed checklist about EC conformity procedures are excluded, as it is more general requirement that you should be following for electronics.

Your answers are persisted in browser local storage for now, feel free to print the result as PDF.
