AGEST and SGS Japan Hold Online Seminar on CRA Compliance Strategies for Product Development
On July 17th, 2026, AGEST, a Tokyo-based company specializing in advanced quality technology, will host a free online seminar titled "Essential Strategies for CRA Compliance in Product Development, SBOM, and Evaluation Processes." The seminar aims to provide vital insights into the European Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), which will take effect partially on September 11, 2026, and fully by December 11, 2027. This law introduces mandatory reporting obligations for vulnerabilities and sets compliance requirements for products.
The seminar invites industry stakeholders, particularly those involved in manufacturing for export or conducting business within the EU. It aims to elucidate the risks associated with non-compliance, such as product sales bans and potential fines. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the current developments regarding the CRA from the perspective of certification bodies and will leave with a practical roadmap for compliance.
- Overview of CRA compliance strategies
- Proposed roadmap leading up to 2027, focusing on key directives for September 2026 and December 2027
