This page reflects our reading of Cyber Resilience Act, Article 14(2) as of . It is not legal advice. Review process.
You have 72 hours from the moment you became aware of the vulnerability or incident to submit the notification — the same awareness timestamp that started your 24-hour early warning clock, not a new one starting from when the early warning was filed.
Before you start
- You need a case in
early_warning_submitted. If you haven't filed the early warning yet, see File an initial Article 14 report. - You need
cases.submitpermission. Check your role on Invite a teammate and assign a role.
Steps
- Open the case. It shows
early_warning_submittedand a countdown for the notification. - Click Start notification. The case moves to
notification_drafting. - Declara pre-fills what it can from your product and case data, including anything carried over from the early warning. Review every field — pre-filled is not the same as correct, and this is also where you'd carry forward any correction to information you gave in the early warning.
- Click Generate packet. You get an HTML view and a PDF, both from the same data.
- Open the CRA Single Reporting Platform and copy the packet fields into the SRP web form yourself. Declara does not submit to the SRP automatically — there is no SRP API today.
- Once submitted on the SRP, return to the case and click Mark submitted. You'll be asked for the SRP reference number, or a note if you filed outside the SRP for an exceptional reason. The case won't let you mark submitted with neither.
What you should see
The case now shows notification_submitted. For an incident case, this is also the
moment the final report's one-month clock starts — it's the only deadline in the
whole sequence that doesn't run from awareness. For a vulnerability case, the final
report instead waits on a fix becoming available; see
File the final report for that distinction.
If you're past 72 hours
There's no penalty state in the product — the case shows overdue instead of a countdown. File as soon as you can; the regulation requires "without undue delay," not a hard cutoff that voids a late filing. See What to do if you're already overdue.
