Artikel 23 Identifiering av ekonomiska aktörer

Summary What does Article 23 of the CRA regulation say?

This article establishes a traceability obligation for all economic operators in the supply chain.

When requested by market surveillance authorities, operators must be able to identify both who supplied them with a product and, where known, who they supplied it to — effectively enabling authorities to trace a product's journey through the supply chain in both directions.

Important points:

Maintain records of both your upstream supplier and downstream customer for any product with digital elements.
This obligation applies to all economic operators, including manufacturers, importers, distributors, and authorised representatives.
Records must be retained and presentable for 10 years from the date of receipt and 10 years from the date of supply of the product.
