EU CRA Product Classification and Conformity Route Map

Go from product facts to the right conformity path. This route map helps security, engineering, and compliance teams confirm CRA scope, classify products, and choose the conformity assessment route without getting lost in annexes.

This route map is a snapshot. Standards get harmonised, product classifications shift, and your stack changes. Our Copilot adapts it to your architecture and supply chain. Our Autopilot tracks your conformity posture and closes the gaps.
