CRA Compliance for Your Machine – at a fraction of the cost compared to doing it yourself
The CRA Challenge for Machine Builders
Three risks you cannot afford to ignore
Market Access at Stake
No CRA compliance = no CE marking for machines with digital elements. EU market closed from December 2027.
After-Sales Revenue at Risk
Substantial changes to installed machines trigger CRA scope. Non-compliant retrofits mean lost service revenue.
13 Years of Patch Debt
CRA mandates security patches for the expected product lifetime – at least 5 years for machinery. Version sprawl eats development capacity.
CRA Art. 13(8): support period = expected product lifetime (min. 5 yr). German AfA tables: 13 yr for Spezialmaschinen.
EU Market Closure Is Approaching
The compliance clock is already running. Key milestones that every machine builder must know.
Penalties: up to €15M or 2.5% Global Turnover
Per infringement (Art. 64), whichever is higher. Additive to product recalls and market bans.
24h Vulnerability Reporting
Actively exploited vulnerabilities must be reported to ENISA within 24 hours. This obligation starts 14 months before full CRA compliance.

How edge.PSL Solves This
Measurable outcomes for your engineering and compliance teams: edge.PSL is a Protective Security Layer that makes your machines CRA-compliant as an inseparable component. Your engineering stays on the roadmap, not on patch debt.
1
One Patch Covers All Machine Generations
A single edge.PSL security update protects every machine generation – no individual patching per version. Backporting to 25-65+ releases becomes one release.
Patch effort drastically reduced
2
Keep Engineering Focused on Product Features
Continue developing new features and functional upgrades without security concerns impacting your roadmap. edge.PSL updates independently from machine software – no functional retest, no revalidation of the machine application required.
Decoupled security and functional update cycles
3
12 of 14 CRA Requirements Addressed
edge.PSL covers the majority of CRA Annex I technical requirements. From access control to vulnerability handling to SBOM management – one component, broad coverage.
Annex I, Part I + Part II (Vulnerability Handling)
4
Protect Your Service Revenue and Installed Base
Non-compliant retrofits mean lost service revenue. Retrofit edge.PSL onto installed machines and continue selling service packages and functional upgrades to existing customers. No full system replacement required.
Brownfield-ready – service revenue stays intact
5
Self-Implementation Costs Significantly More
Building CRA compliance in-house adds 10-20% to development budgets per year – for 13+ years per product generation. edge.PSL delivers certified compliance at a fraction of that cost, with TRIOVEGA absorbing the security lifecycle burden.
