From Closed Rooms to Open Dialogue - How to Participate in CRA Vertical Standards

Learn how to participate in the traditionally closed process of developing vertical standards under the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) through this 45-minute webinar. Discover how a new open platform is breaking down barriers that have historically prevented developers, manufacturers, and open source contributors from engaging with standardization bodies like ETSI. Explore the challenges of membership requirements and technical expertise barriers that have made these critical regulatory processes opaque to the broader community. Understand how the stan4cra.eu platform and related resources enable meaningful participation by providing tools for reviewing, commenting, and sharing feedback on vertical standards development. Examine the current uncertainty around the European Commission's position on these standards and learn about the timeline for their availability in Q2 2026. Gain insights into sector coverage, the importance of broader community participation, and practical steps for engaging with the standardization team to bridge the gap between technical expertise and regulatory compliance requirements.
