CE Marking to Show CRA Compliance
Manufacturers are to affix a CE marking to each individual product with digital elements to show it meets the requirements set out by CRA.
To get there, you must carry out an official conformity assessment to ensure the requirements are met. If your products fall into the Default Class (which most do), you can self-assess their compliance.
Once assessed, you must add the CE marking to your products and, in addition, draw up an official EU Declaration of Conformity.
EU CRA Reference
Article 28, EU Declaration of Conformity
