Product: Seeker Scout version 0.11.0 Manufacturer: Bilal El Homsi Generated: 2026-10-24 by cra-dossier 0.1.0 from the repository seeker-scout at commit 19267dd96bc8 Regulation: Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 (Cyber Resilience Act), OJ L, 2024/2847, 20.11.2024, http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/2847/oj

DRAFT generated from the repository for the manufacturer to review, complete and sign. This is not legal advice. This document makes no claim that the product conforms to Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 and no claim about CE marking; conformity is declared only by the manufacturer, on its sole responsibility, after completing the human items in the gap list.

Article 13(8): the support period reflects the length of time the product is expected to be in use, taking into account reasonable user expectations, the nature of the product including its intended purpose, and relevant Union law determining the lifetime of products; the manufacturer may also consider support periods of similar products by other manufacturers, the availability of the operating environment, the support periods of integrated third-party components providing core functions, and ADCO and Commission guidance. It is at least five years unless the product is expected to be in use for less, in which case it corresponds to the expected use time. The information taken into account goes into the technical documentation (Annex VII, point 4). Guidance C(2026) 5252, section 5, paragraphs 125 to 131: five years is a floor, not a default; each substantially modified software version carries its own declared support period; Article 13(10) lets the manufacturer remediate only the latest version where users can upgrade free of charge without additional costs.
