You sell smart plugs, earbuds, cameras or speakers under your own brand on Amazon DE, FR, IT or ES. Amazon Seller Support sent you a message: 'Missing cybersecurity documentation under Directive 2014/53/EU. Provide within 30 days or listings will be permanently removed.' You thought CE marking was enough. It was — until 1 August 2025. Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 activated cybersecurity requirements that are SEPARATE from EMC and electrical safety. A consultancy quotes €5,000–15,000 per product and 3–6 months. You have 6 suspended ASINs. Every day without listings is revenue lost. REDCheck generates the 5 PDF documents that cover your obligations under Art. 21 and Annex V for each product. 30 minutes. €99 per product. 100% in your browser — your product data never leaves your computer.

Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 activated the cybersecurity requirements of Art. 3(3)(d) and (e) for all internet-connected radio equipment — including every WiFi and Bluetooth product listed on Amazon EU marketplaces. Amazon enforces conformity documentation as a condition to maintain active listings.
You enter your product specifications. REDCheck structures the cybersecurity documentation requirement by requirement, following the EN 18031 categories.
CE marking for electromagnetic compatibility (Art. 3(1)(b)) and electrical safety (Art. 3(1)(a)) has been mandatory since 2016. The cybersecurity requirements of Art. 3(3)(d) and (e) are SEPARATE obligations activated by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 from 1 August 2025. Your existing CE marking does not cover them. Amazon now requires documentation that specifically addresses cybersecurity.
Art. 14 of Directive 2014/53/EU: 'An importer or distributor shall be considered a manufacturer [...] where he places radio equipment on the market under his name or trade mark.' If you sell under YOUR brand — even if a Shenzhen factory made the product — you ARE the manufacturer under EU law. Art. 10 obligations apply to you: design compliance, technical documentation, conformity assessment. The factory only made the hardware. The legal responsibility is yours.
Amazon product compliance is based on the physical product, not the listing text. Removing 'WiFi' from your listing does not change the fact that the product contains a radio module. Market surveillance authorities test actual products, not listings. Misrepresenting product capabilities may also violate Amazon's terms of service and consumer protection law.

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, including criminal penalties for serious infringements.
Amazon requires conformity documentation as a condition to maintain active EU listings. Without an EU declaration of conformity covering Arts. 3(3)(d) and (e), your ASIN is suspended. If documentation is not provided within the deadline, removal is permanent. No right to compensation.
Market surveillance authorities can require withdrawal, prohibit sale or order a recall of radio equipment that does not meet the essential requirements of Art. 3. Arts. 40(1), 40(4) and 43 of Directive 2014/53/EU.
Administrative fines under §19. Up to 1 year of imprisonment for serious offences under §20. Amazon.de is the largest EU marketplace by electronics volume.
