European Cyber Resilience Act

Yes, the upcoming regulatory changes for products on is in full focus here at the IQAN team. 

In the near future you will be seeing more information and updates related to this topic. 

There are separate (and partially overlapping) regulatory requirements coming, where the inclusion of cybersecurity in the Machinery Regulation is an important step for those who use (or should use) IQAN-MC4xFS in safety functions. 

The EU Machinery regulation is replacing the current Machinery Directive already in January 2027

EU Cyber Resilience Act has a wider scope and adds new requirements to essentially all products, all requirements here must be fulfilled  after December 2027

Hello, what is the IQAN team's current stance on this EU compliance?

Are the secureboot models required for Machinery Regulation or just CRA?

All logs get wiped during certain programming; would you need a persistent log of software/firmware updates?

       They want '5 years' of records for that?

Should the ability to mark function groups as 'Frozen' be used for critical safety (marked FS) logic?

       They want safety settings and rules to have 'no modifications allowed'.

Any other consideration to keep in mind for the January 2027 and December 2027 dates?
