Re: [open-regulatory-compliance] A more positive take on CRA FAQs and flowcharts
|
Aaaaand we are back to the in-or-out discussion. :-(
A simple search through the CRA document would have led you to Art. 4
(3) - testing is ok "only for a limited period required for testing
purposes". The EU is not completely stupid.
I'd expect that everybody present here has read the CRA at least once.
Obviously not. I don't want to diss anybody personally but I'm really
frustrated.
This "Open Regulatory Compliance Working Group" consists, according to
their self-description (https://orcwg.org/), of
"Key stakeholders from industry and open source communities"
"collaborating to support compliance with government regulations,"
All I've seen so far is participants trying to find ways around said
regulation and contributing nothing but supposed "hacks" to avoid basic
supply chain security.
IMHO this paints a very bad picture of FOSS. Of course the CRA has some
more (partly rather stupid) requirements (mainly for manufacturers) but
the core of it is things which we should have done already anyways (and
which good projects are already doing).
I know I'm being controversial but I'm doing this on purpose in the
interest of our communities because I think this working group needs a
kick to get going. I'm still hopeful ...
No harm meant!

I'm wondering if there isn't an easier way out of it, for projects/people
who are wondering
if they are getting into the 'manufacturer' category.
Every product under the CRA must have a scope in its documentation. And
what if the scope
says that it is only for testing/development purposes and should not be
used in professional
activities?
Would that effectively transfer all the responsibility to the
projects/companies using that module/
library/program?
That will work only if the original project does not do any 'direct
monetization' .
Kind regards,
Marta
