Add a product and its CRA profile

A product in Provetry is what you place on the market: an app, a device, a component sold separately. Its profile drives everything else: which obligations apply, what the reports say, how long you must support it.

1. Open Products › Add a product.
2. Product name: as your customers know it. It appears in the SBOM and in the reports.
3. What it is: installed software, mobile application, connected device, component sold separately, and so on.
4. Your role for this product: manufacturer, importer, distributor or open-source steward. The manufacturer carries the heaviest obligations.
5. CRA category: default, important class I or II, critical, or out of scope. It decides how conformity is assessed. You can change it later.
6. First placed on the EU market and end of the support period: the CRA asks for at least five years of security updates unless the product is used for less. On the Pro and Consultant plans, Provetry warns you when a component ends its own support before yours does.
7. Supplier name in the SBOM: usually your company name.
