You manufacture Bluetooth speakers in Turkey. If your speakers connect to the internet via WiFi or through a companion app, Art. 3(3)(d) applies. If the app collects personal data, Art. 3(3)(e) applies too. A consultancy quotes €5,000–10,000 per model. REDCheck generates the 5 PDF documents. 30 minutes. €99 per product.

Three mistakes Bluetooth speaker manufacturers make about RED cybersecurity

❌
COMMON ERROR

"Our speaker only uses Bluetooth — no WiFi, no internet"

Most modern Bluetooth speakers include companion apps that connect to the internet for firmware updates, user accounts or voice assistants. If ANY part of the system communicates over the internet, Art. 3(3)(d) applies. Check your companion app.

❌
COMMON ERROR

"We already have CE marking — cybersecurity is covered"

CE for EMC and safety does not cover Art. 3(3)(d) and (e). SEPARATE obligations from 1 August 2025.

❌
COMMON ERROR

"My importer handles compliance"

Art. 10(1) and 10(3): obligation is on the manufacturer.
