Artikel 68 Änderungen der Verordnung (EU) Nr. 168/2013

Summary What does Article 68 of the CRA regulation say?

This is a brief amendment article that directly modifies existing EU legislation.

Specifically, it inserts a new entry into the technical requirements table found in Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 168/2013, which governs the approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles (such as mopeds, motorcycles, and similar vehicles).

The new entry adds "protection of vehicle against cyberattacks" as a required functional safety item, applicable across all vehicle categories covered by that regulation.

This reflects the Cyber Resilience Act's broader push to embed cybersecurity requirements into existing product-specific frameworks.

Important points:

The amendment applies to manufacturers and approval authorities operating under Regulation (EU) No 168/2013, covering two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles.
Protection against cyberattacks is added as a mandatory technical requirement across all relevant vehicle categories in that regulation's approval framework.
This article acts as a consequential amendment, extending the cybersecurity obligations of the Cyber Resilience Act into the vehicle type-approval regime.
