Evidence

Straight from the record, not retyped

What the archive preserves that the official pages no longer show. Every date below is verified against the decision that carries it.

The standard that arrived with an asterisk

EN 18031-1:2024
Common security requirements for radio equipment - Part 1: Internet connected radio equipment
Cited 30.01.2025 by Decision (EU) 2025/138, amending Decision (EU) 2022/2191 under the Radio Equipment Directive
Restriction. Notice 1: The sections named 'rationale' and 'guidance', in this harmonised standard, do not confer a presumption of conformity with the essential requirement set out in Article 3(3), first subparagraph, point (d), of Directive 2014/53/EU.
Restriction. Notice 2: This harmonised standard does not confer a presumption of conformity with the essential requirement set out in Article 3(3), first subparagraph, point (d), of Directive 2014/53/EU if, when applying its clauses 6.2.5.1 and 6.2.5.2, the user is allowed not to set and use any password.

What a repeal and replace looks like when you keep both lists

  • 10.10.2019
    EN 913:2018 cited in the OJ by Decision (EU) 2019/1698
  • 27.04.2026
    Decision (EU) 2026/901 repeals that decision and republishes the whole GPSR list
  • 27.04.2026
    EN 913:2018 survives the republication and stays cited in Annex I
  • 27.10.2027
    In the same decision EN 915:2008 is withdrawn, its successor EN 915:2024 cited in its place

A one-character change to the top penalty tier

  • 20.11.2024
    Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 as printed in the OJ: Article 64(10) reads “By way of derogation from paragraphs 3 to 9”. The carve-outs for microenterprises, small enterprises and open-source stewards do not reach the top fine tier in paragraph 2.
  • 02.07.2025
    Corrigendum 2025/90555 changes it to “paragraphs 2 to 9”. The carve-outs now include the top tier. The original wording is gone from the current text.

Method

How the archive works

Capture

Daily fetch of the public official sources: Commission standards lists and pages, implementing decisions on EUR-Lex. Metadata and published text only, within each site's robots rules.

Compare

Each capture is normalised and hashed. If a date, a reference or a restriction moved since yesterday, the change is recorded with source and timestamp.

Keep

Nothing is overwritten. Every version is kept as a dated diff, so what was promised, when it changed and what it became can always be cited.

What the numbers count. Standards under watch counts reference rows in the Commission's summary lists for each regime, which is why machinery dominates the total: it is by far the largest list. Sources captured daily counts the official pages and documents fetched each run, not the standards in them. Counts taken from a single decision text on EUR-Lex are a different measurement and are labelled as such wherever they appear.

What happens when a source fails. A fetch that errors is recorded as an error and retried, not treated as a change. Where a run has produced entries that look like movement but are not, we annotate that run on the changelog and say so. Three of the entries below are annotated that way, because they were our own filter and fetch behaviour rather than the official record moving.

Analysis

The first CRA standards deadline has passed →

On 30 August 2026 the first deadline in the standardisation request fell due, with no harmonised standard cited in the Official Journal. The dated record, from primary sources.

The CRA countdown is running. The standards are not.
