# EU Cyber Resilience Act FAQ

Direct CRA FAQ answers on scope, economic-operator roles, essential requirements, vulnerability reporting, conformity assessment, CE marking, support periods, and market surveillance.

*FAQ* *EU* *Cyber Resilience Act*

## EU Cyber Resilience Act FAQ

Straight answers to the CRA questions that decide whether a product can be placed on the EU market and what evidence must exist before launch.

This page helps orient product, engineering, security, compliance, legal, importer, distributor, and market-access reviews.

The EU Cyber Resilience Act applies horizontal cybersecurity rules to products with digital elements. This FAQ summarizes the core market-access questions: what is in scope, who carries each role, what manufacturers must build and document, when vulnerability reports are triggered, how conformity assessment and CE marking work, how long support must last, and what market surveillance authorities can check.

*Recommended next step*

*Placement: after the FAQ summaries*

## Turn CRA FAQ answers into product evidence

Use these CRA FAQ summaries to assign scope checks, role mapping, risk-assessment evidence, vulnerability-reporting intake, conformity-assessment records, CE marking controls, support-period rationale, and market-surveillance readiness tasks.

- [Open Assessment Autopilot](/solutions/assessment.md): Convert CRA scope, role, support-period, and conformity questions into evidence requests and review tasks.
- [Talk through CRA readiness](/contact.md): Review product boundaries, launch blockers, vulnerability-handling evidence, and market-access records with the Sorena team.
