Amazon FBA stores, packs and ships your products. It does not ensure regulatory compliance. If you sell smart plugs, earbuds, cameras or any WiFi/Bluetooth product under your brand via FBA in the EU, you are the manufacturer under Art. 14 of Directive 2014/53/EU. CE marking now requires cybersecurity documentation under Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 — separate from the EMC and safety certifications your factory provided. Amazon's compliance team can suspend your FBA inventory without notice. A consultancy quotes €5,000–15,000 per product. REDCheck generates the 5 PDF documents in 30 minutes. €99 per product. Your data never leaves your browser.

FBA simplifies logistics. It does not simplify compliance. Every WiFi and Bluetooth product in Amazon's EU fulfilment centres must meet the cybersecurity requirements of Art. 3(3)(d) and (e) from 1 August 2025.
You enter your product specifications. REDCheck structures the cybersecurity documentation requirement by requirement, following the EN 18031 categories.
Amazon FBA is a fulfilment service (storage, shipping, returns). Amazon's FBA agreement explicitly states that compliance with applicable laws and regulations is the seller's responsibility. Amazon does not verify, test or certify products on your behalf. When Amazon's compliance team requests documentation, it is because YOU must provide it — not because Amazon failed to do it for you.
Amazon's fulfilment centres accept products based on packaging and shipping standards, not regulatory compliance. The presence of your product in an FBA warehouse does not constitute compliance with Directive 2014/53/EU. Market surveillance authorities can order Amazon to remove non-compliant products, and Amazon will remove them from your inventory without compensation.
The cybersecurity documentation obligation comes from Directive 2014/53/EU, not from Amazon's fulfilment model. FBA or FBM, the moment you make radio equipment available on the EU market, the Directive applies. Switching fulfilment methods does not change your regulatory obligations.

5 PDF documents. 30 min. €99 per product. The documentation that Art. 21 requires BEFORE your product can bear CE marking. This is what Amazon is asking for.
If you fully apply EN 18031, you can self-declare via Module A (Annex II) without a Notified Body. If you partially apply or don't apply the harmonised standards, Art. 17(4) requires third-party involvement. REDCheck does not replace a Notified Body — it generates the documentation that is a prerequisite for any conformity route.
We do not sell testing. We do not sell consulting. We sell the tool that structures your cybersecurity documentation under Art. 21 and Annex V.
Art. 46 of Directive 2014/53/EU requires Member States to establish penalties that are effective, proportionate and dissuasive.
Amazon requires conformity documentation. Without it, your FBA inventory is suspended. No shipments, no sales.
If Amazon removes non-compliant FBA inventory, you may be charged disposal fees. Stock that cannot be returned must be destroyed at your expense. Combined with lost sales, the cost of non-compliance far exceeds €99 per product.
Administrative fines under §19. Up to 1 year of imprisonment for serious offences under §20.
