You received an email from your European importer: 'We need cybersecurity technical documentation under Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30.' Art. 12(2) requires importers to verify that the manufacturer has carried out the conformity assessment BEFORE placing the product on the market. If they sell without your documentation, THEY face penalties. If you don't provide it, they source from a manufacturer who does. REDCheck generates the 5 PDF documents. 30 minutes. €99 per product.

The EU Radio Equipment Directive creates a chain of obligations. The manufacturer documents. The importer verifies. Neither can avoid their role.
You enter your product specifications. REDCheck structures the cybersecurity documentation requirement by requirement, following the EN 18031 categories.
Art. 12(2) requires the importer to verify documentation BEFORE placing products on the EU market. If the importer sells without verification and the product is non-compliant, the importer faces the same penalties. They are not shifting costs — they are fulfilling a legal obligation.
FCC certification covers US radio frequency requirements. Internal quality documents may cover ISO processes. Neither satisfies Art. 21 and Annex V. The importer needs documentation specifically addressing Art. 3(3)(d), (e) and (f).
Art. 10(3) places the documentation obligation on the manufacturer. Art. 11(1) explicitly excludes it from the authorized representative's mandate. The importer must VERIFY, not PRODUCE.
5 PDF documents per product model. Each cites the exact article of Directive 2014/53/EU that it covers.

Art. 21 + Annex V.
Arts. 3(3)(d) and (e).
Art. 18 + Annex VI.

We do not sell testing. We do not sell consulting. We sell the tool that structures your cybersecurity documentation.
The Directive creates shared liability. The manufacturer who fails to document and the importer who fails to verify are both exposed.
Art. 12(2): must ensure conformity assessment done and documentation exists. Art. 12(7): if non-compliant, must take corrective action.
Art. 10(11): must take corrective measures and inform authorities.
If your importer cannot sell your product, they find a manufacturer who provides documentation. The relationship loss is permanent.
