Article 2: Scope and exclusions
Summary
Article 2 covers products with digital elements involving a direct or indirect data connection and contains several sectoral exclusions.
Core point
Article 2 is the first filter in the CRA check. It covers products with digital elements involving a direct or indirect logical or physical data connection. Exclusions include MDR/IVDR, certain motor vehicle, aviation and marine equipment areas, identical spare parts, and national security and defence.
In practice
The check should first clarify whether there is a product with digital elements and whether one of the documented exclusions applies.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are all connected offerings automatically in the CRA?
No. Article 2 is only part of the assessment; definitions, supply context and exclusions also need to be checked.
