The Council of the European Union has published a corrigendum to the German language version of the Cyber Resilience Act (Regulation EU 2024/2847), correcting typographical and grammatical errors in several articles and annexes. The corrections, dated 23 July 2026, aim to ensure the German text accurately reflects the intended legal provisions, thereby maintaining legal certainty and uniform interpretation across all EU language versions.
The corrigendum addresses five specific errors. Article 7(2)(b) had a duplicate occurrence of the word 'Sicherheit' and unclear wording regarding significant risk of adverse effects, which has now been corrected. Article 13(15) fixed a grammatical error from 'diese' to 'diese Informationen' concerning product identification marks. Article 17(1) added the missing verb 'übermitteln' to enable ENISA to transmit information to EU-CyCLONe. Article 55(4) changed 'Zertifizierungsschemas' to 'Zertifizierungsschema' for correct grammar in the conformity presumption review. Annex VIII, Part III, point 3.2 corrected a spelling error from 'gewährleisen' to 'gewährleisten' and removed a duplicate period in quality assurance documentation.
These corrections are purely linguistic and do not alter the substance of the Cyber Resilience Act, which was adopted on 23 October 2024. The Act establishes horizontal cybersecurity requirements for products with digital elements, covering design, development, and lifecycle management. The corrigendum ensures that German-speaking stakeholders—including manufacturers, importers, and national authorities—have an accurate legal text to rely on, reducing the risk of misapplication or legal disputes arising from ambiguous wording. The corrections also support consistent enforcement across the EU by maintaining alignment among all language versions.
Stakeholders affected include manufacturers and importers of digital products who rely on the German text for compliance, as well as national market surveillance authorities and legal professionals. The corrigendum reinforces the integrity of the legislative framework without introducing new obligations or changing existing ones. No further institutional follow-up is required, as the corrections are effective upon publication.
