You manufacture baby monitors in South Korea. Under Art. 1(2)(b), they are childcare radio equipment — Art. 3(3)(e) applies even without internet. If your monitor uses WiFi, Art. 3(3)(d) applies too. Documentation is mandatory from 1 August 2025.

A baby monitor is radio equipment designed exclusively for childcare — Art. 1(2)(b). This creates a SEPARATE trigger for Art. 3(3)(e), independent of internet connectivity. If your baby monitor processes personal data (video of a child, audio, room temperature linked to user account), Art. 3(3)(e) applies even with Bluetooth-only connectivity. If it also connects to WiFi, Art. 3(3)(d) applies. Baby monitors face heightened EU scrutiny — they monitor children. REDCheck generates the 5 PDF documents. 30 minutes. €99 per model.

Cybersecurity documentation for baby monitors: the numbers

Baby monitors occupy a special regulatory category. Art. 1(2)(b) creates an independent trigger for Art. 3(3)(e). Most WiFi baby monitors face BOTH triggers.

Art. 1(2)(b)
Childcare radio equipment — baby monitors. Art. 3(3)(e) applies if personal data is processed. NO internet required.
Art. 1(1)
Internet-connected — if your baby monitor uses WiFi. Art. 3(3)(d) applies.

Three mistakes Korean baby monitor manufacturers make about EU cybersecurity

COMMON ERROR

"Our baby monitor only uses DECT/FHSS — no WiFi, no internet, no cybersecurity"

For childcare radio equipment, Art. 1(2)(b) triggers Art. 3(3)(e) even WITHOUT internet. If your DECT baby monitor processes personal data (audio of a child linked to user account), Art. 3(3)(e) applies. The childcare classification is a SEPARATE trigger.

COMMON ERROR

"Baby monitors are simple — security requirements don't apply to basic products"

Complexity is irrelevant. Art. 1(2)(b) applies to ALL childcare radio equipment. A €15 audio baby monitor has the same documentation obligation as a €150 WiFi video monitor.

COMMON ERROR

"We comply with the Toy Safety Directive — that covers security"

Directive 2009/48/EC covers physical and chemical safety of toys. Baby monitors are not toys — they are childcare equipment. Cybersecurity under Arts. 3(3)(d) and (e) is a separate obligation. Note: toys with radio have their OWN trigger under Art. 1(2)(c).

What REDCheck guarantees and what it does not

REDCheck generates a document structured under Art. 21 and Annex V of Directive 2014/53/EU based on the information you enter. The truthfulness, accuracy and completeness of that information is your responsibility as manufacturer of the radio equipment.

We guarantee that the document structure follows Art. 21 and Annex V of Directive 2014/53/EU and that the legal references cited are correct as of the latest verification date.

REDCheck is not legal advice. For specific situations, consult a lawyer or specialised regulatory consultancy.

Frequently asked questions

Our baby monitor has a camera. Is the video personal data?
Yes. Video recordings of an identifiable person — including a child — are personal data under GDPR Art. 4(1). Audio recordings are also personal data.
My monitor connects to a parent's phone via BLE only. No cloud. Does Art. 3(3)(d) apply?
If BLE does not route through internet, Art. 3(3)(d) may not apply. But Art. 3(3)(e) STILL applies under Art. 1(2)(b) if personal data is processed.
We sell via a Korean distributor who re-exports to Europe. Who is responsible?
If the product is placed on the EU market under your brand, you are the manufacturer under Art. 10.
Can I use Module A?
Yes, if you fully apply EN 18031. Art. 17(3)(a).
CRA?
Repealed from 11 December 2027.
Is it a subscription?
No. One-time payment. Each license includes a 30-day editing window and up to 10 regenerations. The 5 PDF documents you download are yours permanently.
Can I request a refund?
Under Art. 16(m) of Directive (EU) 2011/83 on consumer rights, by activating the license you give express consent to the immediate generation of the digital content, waiving the 14-day right of withdrawal. Refunds are accepted only for reproducible technical failures reported to hello@solidwaretools.com within 14 days of purchase.
What if the regulation changes?
If Directive 2014/53/EU, Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 or the EN 18031 standards change during your license validity period, you can regenerate the documents with the updated version of the generator at no additional cost.
