The revised Product Liability Directive, software is now a product in law

The revised EU Product Liability Directive (PLD) marks a fundamental shift by officially treating software and AI systems as products. This update introduces strict liability for digital goods, meaning consumers can seek compensation for defects without having to prove fault. While the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) focuses on pre-market compliance, the PLD addresses post-market accountability for updates, AI decision-making, and security vulnerabilities. For embedded software teams, this change necessitates a new focus on traceability, long-term documentation, and supply chain governance to mitigate significant legal and operational risks.

The 7 Foundational Requirements as a Technical Baseline for EU CRA

As the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) moves from legal theory to technical enforcement, the IEC 62443 standard has emerged as the most concrete engineering baseline for compliance. By focusing on the Seven Foundational Requirements (FRs), engineering teams can anchor CRA readiness directly into their software architecture. This article explores how these requirements bridge the gap between legal obligations and technical execution. It also highlights why tools like Exein are essential for maintaining provable control over security relevant behavior in embedded systems.
