How many CRA harmonised standards are cited in the Official Journal?

Key takeaways

• Three different measures get conflated in coverage of this series. Having a public draft, being in the approval procedure and being cited in the Official Journal are separate states, and only the last one triggers Article 27.
• Every one of these ETSI work items carries a Harmonised Standard flag reading Yes. That flag marks a candidate for harmonisation under standardisation request M/606 and is not a citation.
• ETSI announced 17 final drafts under Public Enquiry on 13 August 2026. The work programme records a finer per-deliverable status, so this dataset carries the row rather than the aggregate.
• EN 304 642 is the one deliverable absent from the ETSI publication directory, which is why a count of the series returns 18 and a count of the published drafts returns 17.
• Nine Annex III and Annex IV points sit outside the ETSI series entirely, with CEN and CENELEC committees instead.

Method and limits

Curated compilation of public primary sources. Not a measurement study.

Two ETSI surfaces describe the same batch at different resolutions and both are correct. The press release states that 17 final drafts are under Public Enquiry. The work programme records a finer per-deliverable status. This dataset carries the per-deliverable status, because a reader checking one product needs the row rather than the aggregate.

Every one of these ETSI work items carries a field labelled Harmonised Standard reading Yes. That field marks a candidate for harmonisation under M/606 and is not a citation. The separate Official Journal field is what records a citation, and it was empty on all 18 deliverables when checked.

This dataset carries metadata about the standards and reproduces no clause text. The standards are ETSI copyright. The CC BY 4.0 licence covers this compilation and its annotations.

Limits

• A stage reflects what a public source showed on the verification date. A deliverable may be further along inside ETSI than any public source can show.
• A deliverable with no publicly downloadable draft is recorded as a work item with no version, rather than given an inferred stage.
• Work item status strings are ETSI's own workflow vocabulary and are reproduced rather than paraphrased.

Sources

• ETSI Work Programme work item detail reports

  Version, cover date, work item reference, approval status and the Official Journal field. Read one work item per deliverable, because the work item ids are not sequential by deliverable number.

• ETSI publication directory for the 304 600 to 304 699 block

  The permanent version-addressed PDF for each deliverable. A deliverable absent from this directory has no public draft.

• ETSI CYBER-EUSR open consultation area

  The consultation copy of each draft. Paths here move as drafts progress, which is why the publication directory is the citable link.

• ETSI press release, 13 August 2026

  The announcement that 17 final drafts entered Public Enquiry, and the mid-September to mid-November 2026 closing window.

• CRA Standards Unlocked, the CEN, CENELEC and ETSI joint programme

  Which committee holds each Annex III and Annex IV point outside the ETSI series.

• Regulation (EU) 2024/2847

  Article 27 attaches presumption of conformity to a reference published in the Official Journal, which is the field this dataset records per deliverable.
