The Machine-Readable Compliance Certificate — what it attests, what it does not, and how it is verified.
What it is
An MRCC is a machine-readable attestation of a product's assessed readiness at a point in time. It is designed to be verified independently and shared with counterparties.
What it is not
It is an automated readiness attestation, not a substitute for official conformity assessment by a notified body where that is required.
Why it helps
- A portable, verifiable summary of readiness.
- Faster trust conversations with buyers and partners.
- A signed record tied to the assessment.
This is an educational explainer. For the canonical regulation reference, see the dedicated MRCC page — or run an assessment to see how it applies to your product.
