EU CRA: Start, Length and End of Support Period
When we look closer at the support period, we’ll find more and more interesting questions.
- Does the support period start, when the end user buys a product or when a product is released, manufactured or sold for the first time?
- Can manufacturers set the length of the support period as they see fit?
- Can manufacturers terminate the support period as they see fit?
- What obligations do manufacturers have to satisfy during the support period? What after the support period?
- Are there special rules for products released in the transitional period from 11 December 2024 to 10 December 2027?
- Does the EU CRA apply to products released before 11 December 2024?
