The RED cyber DA is repealed: the CRA takes over on 11 December 2027

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/339, published in the Official Journal on 29 April 2026, repeals Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 with effect 11 December 2027 — the date of full CRA application. There will be no regulatory double-obligation: radio equipment manufacturers who have been working toward EN 18031 compliance since August 2025 are covered until that date, and the CRA takes over exclusively. What the repeal resolves, what it does not, and how to sequence the transition.

CRA market surveillance: the ANFR perspective

For manufacturers of connected radio products, the authority that matters for both the RED directive and the CRA is ANFR, not DGCCRF. Both regulations are enforced by the same small team of inspectors, operating with a resource constraint that shapes enforcement into a model of exemplary cases. Article 14 creates an investigation channel that did not exist before: a manufacturer who notifies a vulnerability becomes visible to ANFR; one who does not, becomes exposed when the flaw becomes public. What ANFR looks for in a CRA technical file, what triggers a control, and why the CRA sanction regime changes the risk calculus for investors.

DGCCRF and CE marking compliance: the inspector's method

A DGCCRF inspection does not begin with the technical file: it begins with the visible elements of the product on the shelf. The funnel method, the company maturity assessment, the test report reading grid and the administrative follow-up sequence constitute a framework that a manufacturer cannot reconstruct from the regulatory text. This article describes that framework from statutory authorisation to compelled publication, covering the CE regulations in DGCCRF's mandate: LVD, EMC, Machinery Directive and Regulation 2023/1230, Toys, PPE, CPR, ATEX, RoHS, WEEE and GPSR.
