CRA Candidate Harmonised Standards: National Public Enquiry Entries Across All 27 EU Member States (as of 13 August 2026)

• The CEN-CENELEC horizontal EN 40000-1 series (Parts 1-1, 1-2, 1-3) has largely closed public enquiry and moved toward approval and delivery. The ETSI EN 304 6xx vertical series is in combined Public Enquiry and Vote routed through national bodies.
• Verified deep links exist for DE (DIN Media), FR (AFNOR Norm’Info), NL (NEN), ES (UNE/BOE), SE (SIS), FI (SFS), DK (DS webshop), EE (EVS), SI (SIST) and PL (PKN). The remaining states route through email-gated or registration-gated national portals where individual CRA drafts are not statically catalogued.

Recommendations

• To comment on the currently open CRA drafts, prioritise the confirmed live entry: prEN 40000-10 on SIS (closes 7 September 2026). The SFS window for the same draft closed 23 July 2026. Verify each portal’s live status before relying on it, since dates shift as drafts progress.
• For prEN 40000-1-4, monitor DIN, AFNOR, NEN and DS across the mid-July to mid-November 2026 enquiry window. DIN Media and AFNOR Norm’Info give the most reliable public deep links. Threshold that would change this advice: a DIN Media or Norm’Info entry dated after July 2026 with an explicit Einspruchsfrist or date de fin d’enquete confirms the window is live.
• For ETSI EN 304 6xx comments, route through the national NSO. The most transparent public-facing listings are Ireland (Your Standards Your Say), Poland (pzn.pkn.pl/polls, prPN-prETSI EN) and Portugal (IPQ ETSI list). The authoritative free draft texts remain on the ETSI CYBER-EUSR open repository.
• For the email- or registration-gated portals (HU, RO, SK, CY, EL, LV, LT, LU, MT, BG, HR, plus gated views on ES/NL/DE/FR), contact the listed email or register to confirm the specific CRA draft is in the national queue. Register in advance where free registration is required (LV, LT, HR, DE, NL) so comments can be filed before deadlines.
