Frequently Asked Questions about CRA Text
Where can I find the official CRA regulation text?
The full text of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 — the Cyber Resilience Act — is published in the Official Journal of the European Union on EUR-Lex. It is available in all official EU languages as both HTML and PDF for download. You can find the consolidated version at eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/2847. Our page provides an additional structured overview and practical explanations for all articles and annexes.
How is the CRA regulation text structured?
The CRA text is organised into recitals, over
70 articles across several chapters, and eight technical annexes. The chapters cover: scope and definitions, obligations of economic operators, conformity assessment, market surveillance, and sanctions. Annexes I and II contain the essential cybersecurity requirements and information obligations, while Annex III lists the critical product categories.
When does the Cyber Resilience Act apply?
The CRA entered into force on
10 December 2024. Implementation is phased: from
11 September 2026, the vulnerability and incident reporting obligations apply. From
11 June 2026, the rules for conformity assessment bodies take effect. Full application of all requirements begins on
11 December 2027.
Which products fall under the CRA text?
Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 covers all products with digital elements placed on the EU market — i.e., hardware and software with a direct or indirect network connection. Exemptions include medical devices, motor vehicles, aircraft, and products already regulated under sector-specific EU legislation. Annexes III and IV of the CRA text distinguish between default, important, and critical products.
What are the key manufacturer obligations under the CRA text?
The CRA regulation text requires manufacturers to ensure: cybersecurity by design (Annex I, Part I), vulnerability handling throughout the product lifecycle (Annex I, Part II), provision of security updates at no extra cost, reporting of actively exploited vulnerabilities to ENISA within
24 hours, technical documentation, and CE conformity assessment. Non-compliance can result in fines of up to EUR
15 million or 2.5% of annual global turnover.
How does the CRA differ from NIS 2 and the EU Cybersecurity Act?
The CRA regulates product cybersecurity before products are placed on the market (product regulation), while NIS
2 obligates operators of critical infrastructure to implement organisational security measures. The EU Cybersecurity Act establishes the ENISA mandate and a voluntary certification framework. The three acts are complementary: the CRA ensures products arrive on the market securely, NIS
2 secures operations, and the Cybersecurity Act provides certification options.
Is the CRA text available as a PDF download?
Yes, the full CRA regulation text is available as a PDF on EUR-Lex. Search for Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 or use the direct link to Official Journal L 2024/2847.
