Cyber Resilience Act, Regulation (EU) 2024/2847

Cited in the Official Journal: 0 of 41 requested, checked against the Commission's harmonised standards index, which carries no entry for the CRA. The Commission publishes no delivery counter for the request.

The standardisation request is C(2025)618 of 3 February 2025, 41 standards. Its annex sets deadlines for adoption by the European standardisation organisations: items 1 and 15 by 30 August 2026, passed 1 day ago undelivered; items 16 to 41 by 30 October 2026, in 60 days; items 2 to 14 by 30 October 2027. A draft amendment circulated in July 2026 has not been adopted, so these dates stand. Incident reporting under Article 14 applies from 11 September 2026, in 11 days; full application 11 December 2027.

On 13 August 2026 ETSI opened public enquiry on 17 final draft European Standards supporting the CRA, with comment windows closing between mid-September and mid-November 2026. Public enquiry precedes approval, adoption and citation. A draft still taking comments in November was not adopted in October. That is arithmetic on two published dates, not a forecast.

What this page does not measure

This archive began capturing on 10 August 2026. [Correction, 21 October 2026: the first capture ran on 7 August 2026; 10 August 2026 was the day the site was first built. See the corrections page.] It does not yet hold a history of how far these dates have moved over time, and we will not publish a slippage figure we cannot show the receipts for. Where a date moved in the past, we reconstruct it from the instruments themselves, each one linked above. From here, every change to every tracked source is captured daily and kept.
