CRA Annex VII: build a reviewable technical file
Connect product context, risk assessments and evidence without treating a draft as certification.
Start with the product version
Keep the product description, intended purpose and design information attached to the version being reviewed.
Make evidence traceable
Link risk assessment, cybersecurity measures, testing, update and vulnerability-handling records to their sources. This prototype checklist is not an exhaustive interpretation of Annex VII.
Review before relying on a draft
Missing documents remain visible. The manufacturer must review the applicable requirements and conformity procedure; an exported file is not approval.
