# 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.

### [What happens under CRA Module B+C if the notified body concludes that the type or vulnerability-handling processes do not comply?](/artifacts/eu/cyber-resilience-act/faq/module-b-c.md#what-happens-under-cra-module-bc-if-the-notified-body-concludes-that-the-type-or-vulnerability-handling-processes-do-not-comply)

*Module: [CRA Module B+C](/artifacts/eu/cyber-resilience-act/faq/module-b-c.md)*

It must refuse to issue the EU-type examination certificate and give detailed reasons for the refusal. Annex VIII frames that refusal around both the type and the vulnerability-handling processes, so a process failure can block the certificate even if the product design evidence is otherwise strong.

Sources for this answer:

- [Cyber Resilience Act](https://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/2847/oj?ref=sorena.io) - Requires refusal and detailed reasons when the type or vulnerability-handling processes do not satisfy the applicable requirements.

### [Under CRA Module B+C, does the EU-type examination certificate approve only the type or also vulnerability-handling processes?](/artifacts/eu/cyber-resilience-act/faq/module-b-c.md#under-cra-module-bc-does-the-eu-type-examination-certificate-approve-only-the-type-or-also-vulnerability-handling-processes)

*Module: [CRA Module B+C](/artifacts/eu/cyber-resilience-act/faq/module-b-c.md)*

It covers both.

Sources for this answer:

- [Cyber Resilience Act](https://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/2847/oj?ref=sorena.io) - Requires production conformity, CE marking on each compliant product, and a written declaration of conformity for the product model.

### [Under CRA module C, is the declaration of conformity for each individual product or for the product model?](/artifacts/eu/cyber-resilience-act/faq/module-b-c.md#under-cra-module-c-is-the-declaration-of-conformity-for-each-individual-product-or-for-the-product-model)

*Module: [CRA Module B+C](/artifacts/eu/cyber-resilience-act/faq/module-b-c.md)*

It is for the product model.

Sources for this answer:

- [Cyber Resilience Act](https://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/2847/oj?ref=sorena.io) - States that Module C uses a declaration of conformity for a product model and identifies that model.

*Module: [CRA Module B+C](/artifacts/eu/cyber-resilience-act/faq/module-b-c.md)*

Not only for that label.

Sources for this answer:

- [Cyber Resilience Act](https://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/2847/oj?ref=sorena.io) - Uses a conformity-or-certificate-validity trigger for post-certificate modifications, not only a label such as substantial modification.

*Module: [CRA Module B+C](/artifacts/eu/cyber-resilience-act/faq/module-b-c.md)*

The notified body must inform its notifying authorities and the other notified bodies about those certificate outcomes.

Sources for this answer:

- [Cyber Resilience Act](https://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/2847/oj?ref=sorena.io) - Sets the notified body's information duties for certificate issuance, withdrawal, refusal, suspension, restriction, and requests by authorities.

### [How long must the manufacturer keep CRA Module B+C records?](/artifacts/eu/cyber-resilience-act/faq/module-b-c.md#how-long-must-the-manufacturer-keep-cra-module-bc-records)

*Module: [CRA Module B+C](/artifacts/eu/cyber-resilience-act/faq/module-b-c.md)*

## 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.
