How to use this assessment
The permitted CRA conformity assessment route depends on product classification and additional conditions. Default products can generally use internal control; important and critical products need a closer Article 32 analysis.
Use facts about the specific product, version and supply arrangement. If you cannot establish a condition, select the uncertainty option. The result identifies the limits of the assessment and the evidence needed for your next decision.
Frequently asked questions
Can a Class I product always self-assess?
No. The conditions in Article 32(2), or the specific FOSS exception in Article 32(5), need to be met.
Is ISO 27001 a CRA product conformity certificate?
An organisational information-security certificate does not by itself establish conformity of a product with the CRA or satisfy an Article 32 certification route.
Does the tool verify that a standard is currently harmonised?
No. The route finder asks you to confirm legal applicability and coverage. Check official references and the source review date before relying on a particular standard.
