CRA Article 14

Start with the law. Record the decision.

Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 establishes staged, time-critical reporting. Use the linked regulation and current official guidance for the controlling scope and wording.

Official links checked 1 September 2026.

Begin with the occurrence

Assess the occurrence.

The regulation's definitions and thresholds control the assessment. The product design keeps evidence separate from the human legal decision.

AEV

Actively exploited vulnerability

Use the controlling regulation for the definition and threshold; software must not infer the result.

SI

Severe incident affecting product security

Use the controlling regulation for the severe-impact conditions. The legal criteria, not a software label, determine the result.

Reporting stages

Staged reporting is time-critical, not a waiting period.

The governing law controls the exact limits after awareness.

First stage

Early warning

Starts from legally relevant awareness and uses the controlling law's current timing language.

Next stage

Notification

Builds on available information, assessment, and mitigation content required for the path.

Final

Vulnerability path

Uses the vulnerability-path trigger and wording in the controlling regulation.

Final

Incident path

Uses the incident-path trigger and wording in the controlling regulation.

General information, not legal advice

Scope, awareness, severity, timing, routing, and required content depend on the controlling law and the facts. Use the official text and qualified legal review for decisions.

Where ActLume fits

The design prepares a handoff; people file in SRP.

The ActLume workflow model keeps intake, reportability, awareness, staged preparation, handoff readiness, and confirmed submission as separate states.

Preparation stays in ActLume. The filer opens ENISA SRP and EU Login separately, transfers selected values, reviews the portal content, submits, and records the result against the case.
