Art. 21(1): 'The technical documentation shall contain all relevant data or details of the means used by the manufacturer to ensure that radio equipment complies with the essential requirements set out in Article 3. It shall, at least, contain the elements set out in Annex V.' Annex V lists 9 elements, from product description to test reports. When cybersecurity requirements under Art. 3(3)(d), (e) and (f) apply, these 9 elements must address cybersecurity specifically — including the EN 18031 mapping, the risk assessment and the declaration of conformity referencing the applicable articles. REDCheck generates documentation that covers all 9 Annex V elements for cybersecurity. 30 minutes. €99 per product.

9 minimum required elements. All must be present.
Each element maps to a specific section of the documentation package.
Annex V applies to ALL essential requirements under Art. 3 — including Art. 3(3)(d), (e) and (f). The phrase 'all relevant data or details of the means used to ensure compliance' (Art. 21(1)) means that if cybersecurity requirements apply, the documentation must demonstrate how the manufacturer ensured compliance with them.
EMC test reports cover compliance with Art. 3(1)(b). They do NOT cover cybersecurity under Art. 3(3)(d)/(e)/(f). Annex V(h) requires test reports for ALL applicable requirements. If cybersecurity applies, you need cybersecurity-specific evidence.
Art. 10(4): documentation must be 'kept at the disposal of national authorities.' Art. 10(12): must be provided 'in paper or electronic form' upon request. A structured PDF package is the practical standard for presenting technical documentation to market surveillance authorities.

5 PDF documents. 30 min. €99 per product. Maps your EN 18031 assessment to the Annex V structure. This is what Art. 21 requires BEFORE your product can bear CE marking — regardless of conformity route.
If you fully apply EN 18031, Art. 16 grants presumption of conformity → Module A self-declaration (Annex II) without Notified Body. If partially applied or not applied: Art. 17(4) requires Module B+C (Annex III) or Module H (Annex IV) with Notified Body. REDCheck generates the Layer 1 documentation that is a prerequisite for EITHER route.
