What this is
A draft set of the documents a manufacturer of a product with digital elements holds under Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 when it self-assesses (internal control, Article 32(1)(a) and Annex VIII, Part I). It was drafted from the repository by cra-dossier; nothing in it was reviewed by a lawyer or a notified body.

What stays human
- The cybersecurity risk assessment judgments (Article 13(2) and (3)).
- The support period and its end date (Article 13(8) and 13(19)).
- Any "not applicable" with its justification (Article 13(4)).
- The conformity assessment itself and the signature on the declaration (Article 13(12), Article 28(4): the manufacturer assumes responsibility).
- Whether the product is important or critical (Article 7, Article 8) and any notified-body involvement.
Re-issue per release
Run cra-dossier refresh <repo> on every release. It regenerates the SBOM, re-checks vulnerabilities, compares versions and flags a declaration that no longer matches the shipped version (Article 31(2): the technical documentation is continuously updated during the support period; Article 28(2): the declaration is updated as appropriate). The Commission guidance C(2026) 5252, section 4.3, explains when a software update is a substantial modification (new risks not covered by the risk assessment) and when it is not (security updates).
