What is the CRA and when does it come into force?
The Cyber Resilience Act is a regulation of the European Parliament and the EU Council that comes into effect at the beginning of 2025, with full requirements applicable from 2027. It applies to all products with a digital component, including devices in the compressed air and gas industries.
The new regulations require:
- Providing security updates for products with digital elements
- Safeguarding from unauthorized access
- Securing authenticity, integrity and confidentiality of processed data
- Rapid incident response
Why does it apply to compressors and pumps too?
Modern compressors, dryers, pumps, and energy management systems are equipped with controllers, microprocessors, and remote access systems. This means they also fall under CRA regulations. One of the biggest challenges is the use of external clouds, which do not belong to the internal infrastructure of the end user and are beyond their control.
XAIR Line by MIKROEL is a perfect CRA-compliant solution
Our XAIR Line product range includes the built-in XAIR Webserver visualization system, which – like the controller – is designed with security in mind:
- XAIR Webserver operates locally within the LAN – data never leaves the user’s infrastructure
- No integration with external servers
- Encrypted communication and full access control
- Compliance with CRA and cybersecurity standards
- Proactive event management and remote diagnostics
- Remote diagnostics with full control over data
