For regulators

Submit data updates

National regulators can update their country’s entries through the CRASA Extranet. Verified entries are flagged on the public comparator with a green checkmark.

How verification works

  1. National regulator reviews entries for their country in the Extranet.
  2. Updates submitted with source citation and date of validity.
  3. CRASA Secretariat reviews and marks verified.
  4. Public comparator shows the verified checkmark within 24 hours.
