About the certification


The Cyber Resilience Act enhances cybersecurity standards of products that contain a digital component, requiring manufacturers and retailers to ensure cybersecurity throughout the lifecycle of their products. The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) aims to safeguard consumers and businesses buying software or hardware products with a digital component. The CRA addresses the inadequate level of cybersecurity in many products, and the lack of timely security updates for products and software. The CRA introduces mandatory cybersecurity requirements for manufacturers and retailers, governing the planning, design, development, and maintenance of such products. These obligations must be met at every stage of the value chain. The act also requires manufacturers to provide care during the lifecycle of their products. Some critical products of particular relevance for cybersecurity will also need to undergo a third-party assessment by an authorised body before they are sold in the EU market. The Cyber Resilience Act entered into force on 10 December 2024.
