CRA for Software Developers

The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) introduces mandatory cybersecurity requirements across the product lifecycle for hardware and software with digital elements.1 Developers must adopt secure development practices, maintain documentation, and support vulnerability handling to achieve conformity and CE marking.

This section provides a developer‑focused view with practical guidance, examples, and checklists rooted in Annex I essential requirements and Articles 16–24 duties.1 Start with Scope and Requirements, then map to Embedded Technical Controls, SDL, SBOM/VEX, and Conformity. Each page references the Official Journal text so you can quote the precise clause when writing design documentation or responding to auditors.
