The CRA requires technical documentation — what goes in the pack and how to keep it audit-ready.
What it contains
- Product description and intended use.
- Risk assessment and design/security architecture.
- Vulnerability-handling and update processes.
- Test results and the SBOM.
- The declaration of conformity.
Keep it retrievable
Authorities can request it; a pack you can produce on demand turns a stressful request into a routine one.
Keep it aligned
Update the pack when the product changes so it always matches what you ship.
This is an educational explainer. For the canonical regulation reference, see the dedicated Evidence page — or run an assessment to see how it applies to your product.
