Why this exists
The CRA is not a one-time read. The regulation itself runs to hundreds of pages. Secondary legislation, delegated acts, ENISA guidance, notified body decisions, and product-class clarifications will keep coming through to 2027 and beyond. The reporting obligations took effect in September 2026; full application lands in December 2027. You can't read one article and be done. So instead of asking you to monitor the EU Official Journal, we do it and send you the short version.
How often you'll hear from us
Monthly, plus breaking-change alerts. The monthly issue rounds up what moved. Alerts go out the moment something material lands - a deadline clarification, a new delegated act, or an ENISA SRP update - so it reaches you in days, not after your next audit.
What's in each issue
- What changed, written so you don't need a law degree to follow it.
- What it means for you, separated by role (Manufacturer, Importer, Distributor) where it matters.
- What to do next, in concrete steps.
- A link to the official source, every time, so you can check our work.
Who reads The CRA Brief
- Product managers and engineers at companies with EU customers who need to understand CRA obligations without reading the full regulation.
- Compliance and legal teams who own the CRA deadline and need to brief leadership on every material change.
- Hardware and software manufacturers placing products on the EU market for the first time.
- Importers and distributors who need to know what to check when sourcing from non-EU manufacturers.
- Advisers, associations and trade bodies who need to stay authoritative for their members.
The fine print, kept honest
We have no software to sell and no demo to book, so the newsletter exists to inform you, not to soften you up for a pitch. We won't sell or share your email. Unsubscribe in one click, any time.
