You manage compliance for a US manufacturer selling WiFi products in Europe. Your European consultancy quotes €7,000–€15,000 per model. You have 3 models. That’s €21,000–€45,000. Your VP says: 'Find a cheaper way.' REDCheck generates the same 5 PDF documents — citing the same articles, the same Annex V structure, the same EN 18031 categories. 30 minutes per model. €99 per product (~$108). 3 models = €297 (~$324). Same legal structure. 99% cost reduction. Download the sample dossier and compare.

The cost varies by provider. The legal requirements are identical — Art. 21 and Annex V do not change based on who prepares the documentation.
You enter your product specifications. REDCheck structures the cybersecurity documentation requirement by requirement, following the EN 18031 categories.
Art. 21 and Annex V define what technical documentation must contain. The content requirements are the same regardless of whether you pay €99 or €15,000. REDCheck structures the documentation requirement by requirement, citing the same articles and EN 18031 categories. Download the sample to verify.
Documentation and conformity assessment are two separate steps. Documentation (Layer 1) is what Art. 21 requires. Conformity assessment (Layer 2) determines whether you need a Notified Body — and only if you don’t fully apply EN 18031 (Art. 17(4)). REDCheck does Layer 1.
There is no legal concept of 'superior' documentation. Art. 21 requires documentation to contain 'all relevant data or details of the means used by the manufacturer.' The content requirements are in Annex V. If both documents meet Annex V, they are equally compliant.
5 PDF documents per product model. Each cites the exact article of Directive 2014/53/EU that it covers.
