This applies to standalone software, software embedded in hardware and standalone hardware alike. The duration of that obligation is set by the support period. For most product manufacturers, this is an unfamiliar idea. EU product legislation has traditionally stopped at the moment a product is placed on the market or has limited mandatory support to consumers. The CRA does not. This blog post explains what the support period is, how manufacturers must determine and communicate it, and why it breaks with the logic of the New Legislative Framework (NLF), the common model on which EU product legislation is built.<\/p>\n<\/div><a class=\"entry-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ibj.be\/en\/partnerblog\/the-cra-support-period-a-patch-to-eu-product-legislation\/\">Read More<svg width=\"17px\" height=\"17px\" viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"currentColor\"><path d=\"M 21.1875 9.28125 L 19.78125 10.71875 L 24.0625 15 L 4 15 L 4 17 L 24.0625 17 L 19.78125 21.28125 L 21.1875 22.71875 L 27.90625 16 Z \"><\/path><\/svg><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The CRA support period: a patch to eu product legislation?<\/span><\/a><\/article><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-button-group stk-block-button-group stk-block stk-303a60b\" data-block-id=\"303a60b\"><style>.stk-303a60b {margin-top:30px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks has-text-align-center stk-block-content stk-button-group\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-button stk-block-button is-style-ghost stk-block stk-7f628a2\" data-block-id=\"7f628a2\"><style>.stk-7f628a2 {margin-bottom:50px !important;}.stk-7f628a2 .stk-button{padding-right:20px !important;padding-left:20px !important;background:transparent !important;border-top-left-radius:20px !important;border-top-right-radius:20px !important;border-bottom-right-radius:20px !important;border-bottom-left-radius:20px !important;}.stk-7f628a2 .stk-button:hover:after{background:var(--theme-palette-color-1, #00849C) !important;opacity:1 !important;}:where(.stk-hover-parent:hover,  .stk-hover-parent.stk--is-hovered) .stk-7f628a2 .stk-button:after{background:transparent !important;opacity:1 !important;}.stk-7f628a2 .stk-button:before{border-style:solid !important;border-color:var(--theme-palette-color-1, #00849C) !important;border-top-width:2px !important;border-right-width:2px !important;border-bottom-width:2px !important;border-left-width:2px !important;}.stk-7f628a2 .stk-button .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child{height:10px !important;width:10px !important;}.stk-7f628a2 .stk-button .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child, .stk-7f628a2 .stk-button .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child :is(g, path, rect, polygon, ellipse){fill:var(--theme-palette-color-1, #00849C) !important;}.stk-7f628a2 .stk-button:hover .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child, .stk-7f628a2 .stk-button:hover .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child :is(g, path, rect, polygon, ellipse){fill:var(--theme-palette-color-8, #ffffff) !important;}.stk-7f628a2 .stk-button:hover .stk-button__inner-text{color:var(--theme-palette-color-8, #ffffff) !important;}.stk-7f628a2 .stk-button__inner-text{font-weight:600 !important;}<\/style><a class=\"stk-link stk-button stk--hover-effect-darken\" href=\"https:\/\/ibj.be\/en\/media-news\/\"><span class=\"stk-button__inner-text\">More news<\/span><span class=\"stk--svg-wrapper\"><div class=\"stk--inner-svg\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path d=\"M310.6 233.4c12.5 12.5 12.5 32.8 0 45.3l-192 192c-12.5 12.5-32.8 12.5-45.3 0s-12.5-32.8 0-45.3L242.7 256 73.4 86.6c-12.5-12.5-12.5-32.8 0-45.3s32.8-12.5 45.3 0l192 192z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Company lawyers guide their companies through legal risks and opportunities on a daily basis.
