Supplier Enablement | CRA Compliance

The Problem

Your Statement Regarding Third-Party Data

The SBOM is with your suppliers

The CRA requires due diligence regarding purchased components and a bill of materials for the included software. This information is not available from you, but from your suppliers: controllers, drives, HMIs, sensors, gateways.

The Current Situation

The Excel query does not scale

The purchasing department sends out a questionnaire to everyone. Half of them don’t respond, the answers are inconsistent, and no one is qualified to assess whether an SBOM is usable. The result wouldn’t stand up to scrutiny by any Notified Body.

The Real Bottleneck

Not the query. The evaluation.

The bottleneck is the technical evaluation of the responses and the process of removing suppliers who cannot deliver. That is precisely what cannot be scaled internally. The program provides the expertise and the verified documentation.

30 to 60

In our experience, your suppliers have digital components and are subject to CRA regulations. Many of them are small companies without their own product safety function.

30 to 50%

In our experience, a traditional questionnaire survey yields a response. The rest remains a gap in your file.

During our conversation, we’ll show you what’s behind each component and how the testing system works. That’s our craft, and it always will be.

One sale, many deliveries

You purchase a program, and your suppliers receive webinars, templates, and an audit. The result is an auditable file that serves as the basis for your CRA declaration of compliance.

Why Now?

Two Deadlines, One Sales Issue

The reporting requirement takes effect on September 11, 2026, and applies retroactively to products that have already been shipped. You can only report what your suppliers have reported to you. Starting December 11, 2027, a sales ban will apply to products containing digital elements if they do not have a declaration of conformity. This is a sales issue, not a form-filling issue.

Your Alternative

A dedicated employee for twelve months?

She first has to build up her professional expertise while the deadline is still open, and during that time she’s unavailable elsewhere. The program delivers results faster and with verified proof.
