How to use this assessment

A product is likely within CRA scope when it is a product with digital elements supplied on the EU market in a commercial activity, has the relevant direct or indirect data connection, and is not covered by an exclusion.

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

Is a software library a product?

A separately supplied software component can be a product with digital elements. Its commercial supply and any FOSS treatment still need to be assessed.

Does a cloud dependency always fall within scope?

No. The definition requires a functional dependency and software designed or developed by or under the responsibility of the manufacturer. It is not enough that a service is useful to the business.
