Questions
Is there a CRA Declaration of Conformity template?
The sample EU Declaration of Conformity on this page shows every field a CRA Declaration of Conformity needs — product identification, manufacturer, the conformity statement, the harmonised standards applied, the product class and the conformity assessment route. Use it as a reference for what your own declaration must contain. It is a filled-in example for a fictional product, not a blank template, and is watermarked so it cannot be mistaken for a real record.
What does an Annex VII technical file look like?
The sample Annex VII technical documentation on this page walks through all of its required elements: a general product description, the design/development/production and vulnerability-handling processes, a cybersecurity risk assessment, the essential requirements and how they are met, the harmonised standards applied, test reports, a reference to the Declaration of Conformity, and a Software Bill of Materials.
Can I submit these sample documents?
No. Both documents use fictional data for a made-up product and every page is watermarked “Sample — not for submission.” They exist to show you the structure and level of detail expected, so you can produce your own real documents.
