Everything Programming

Software is expressly treated as a product under the new EU liability framework. Why firmware versions, updates and documented component processes matter.

One medical device, two legal frameworks: why MDR approval doesn't protect you from CRA obligations — and what that means for firmware and evidence.

IC, flash, EEPROM and microcontroller programming for samples, small batches and series production – documented, traceable and delivered on schedule.

CRA reporting obligations apply from September 2026. What that means for your programming process — and where btv SEEL® fits in.

Two frameworks, two different goals. We break down NIS2 and the CRA, connect them to BSI TR-03183 and EN 18031 — and explain what this means for your components.

Chip crisis, cost pressure and shifting alliances shaped the German electronics industry in 2025. What changed in the supply chain — and why resilience now depends on earlier decisions.

While everyone talks about the 2027 CRA deadline, EN 18031 has been mandatory since 1 August 2025 — no transition period. Here's who's affected and what needs to be provable now.

The CRA exemption for type-approved vehicles changes nothing: UN ECE R155 already requires demonstrable cybersecurity across the vehicle lifecycle.

A component passes through many stations — from goods receipt to handover. Why the link between component, process step, and outcome often gets lost, and how a Chain of Trust fixes that.
