European Commission CRA implementation factpage updated to track deliverables and link the implementing act defining technical descriptions for important/critical product categories

The European Commission updated its CRA implementation factpage (shown as last updated 23 April 2026). The page tracks CRA implementation deliverables and explicitly points implementers to the Commission implementing act that specifies the technical descriptions of categories of ‘important’ and ‘critical’ products with digital elements. For CRA Annex IV (critical products), this matters because the technical descriptions are used for scoping/classification decisions that drive the applicable conformity assessment route (including when third-party involvement is required).
