What is the context here? What are the mentioned standards that the open source developers will need to comply to?

Edit: from the linked article https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/eu-cra-secure-coding-solut...

> The extremely short version: The EU is going to task a standardisation body to write a document that tells everyone marketing products and software in the EU how to code securely. This to further the EU Essential Cybersecurity Requirements. For critical software and products, EU notified bodies (which until now have mostly done physical equipment and process certifications) will do audits to determine if code and products adhere to this standard. And if not, there could be huge fines.
