CRA check Preliminary orientation
Answer seven questions about one product. You get a preliminary orientation with its reasons, the questions still open, the obligations to plan for and the sources behind them. Your answers stay in your browser.
01 Background
Products with digital elements made available on the EU market: hardware and software whose intended or foreseeable use includes a data connection to a device or network, subject to the regulation's scope and exclusions. Remote data processing is covered only as part of such a product, so pure SaaS is generally not itself in scope.
Products covered by specific sector rules, such as medical devices, motor vehicles, civil aviation and marine equipment, products developed exclusively for national security or defence, and free software not supplied in the course of a commercial activity.
The manufacturer carries most of them. Importers and distributors check that the manufacturer met its obligations before making the product available. Open-source software stewards have a lighter regime.
Products in scope carry CE marking after the applicable conformity assessment: for most products the manufacturer's own assessment, for some important and critical products a third-party one. ProveStack does not grant CE marking; a dashboard cannot grant conformity.
Preliminary orientation only, not legal advice, not a conformity assessment and not a certification. Confirm scope with qualified counsel.
02 In the product
Inside ProveStack, each assessment is stored with its answers, author and time, and its obligations become tracked items with a human applicability decision.
