# EU CRA Representative

## EU CRA Representative

Cyber Security Representation

Article 18 of the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) allows manufacturers established outside the EU to appoint an authorised representative in the Union, by written mandate, to carry its CRA duties towards the market surveillance authorities. The EU CRA applies in full from 11 December 2027. Register your interest in our EU CRA Representative service today and we'll contact you as soon as it's live.

## What an EU CRA Representative does

The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) covers products with digital elements placed on the market in the European Union. A manufacturer outside of the EU can appoint an authorised representative to hold the paperwork and face the authorities.

An EU CRA Representative: 

- Accepts a written mandate from the manufacturer that spells out exactly which tasks are delegated.
- Keeps the EU declaration of conformity and the technical documentation at the disposal of the market surveillance authorities for at least ten years after the product is placed on the market, or for the support period, whichever is longer.
- Provides those authorities with the information and documentation needed to demonstrate the product's conformity.
- Cooperates with the market surveillance authorities on any action taken to eliminate the risks a product poses.

As with our other representation services, Prighter will serve as your local presence, holding the documentation and managing inbound contact, so your team can operate from a single dashboard rather than a patchwork of national authorities across each EU Member State.

## Global Representation FAQs

### Is there a single global Representative requirement?

**No.** Representation requirements are jurisdiction-specific. Each country or region maintains its own legal framework and supervisory authority.

### Can one provider manage representation in multiple jurisdictions?

Separate legal mandates are required in each jurisdiction. A coordinated provider can streamline oversight and management across markets.

### Does appointing Representatives mean full compliance globally?

**No.** Representation fulfils formal legal requirements where applicable. Substantive compliance obligations remain with your organisation in each jurisdiction.

### How do we determine where we need representation?

This depends on where you offer services, process personal data and operate infrastructure. A structured cross-border assessment is the starting point.
