Your European buyer is asking for cybersecurity documentation — and the cost at TÜV India or Bureau Veritas starts at ₹4 lakh per model. You have six models. That is ₹24 lakh before you ship a single unit.

You export internet-connected radio equipment to the EU. Your Dutch or German importer has sent you a checklist. A lab in India quotes ₹4–8 lakh per product model and 3–6 months. REDCheck generates the 5 PDF documents for each model. 30 minutes. €99 per product. 100% in your browser.

Three mistakes Indian exporters make about RED cybersecurity

❌
COMMON ERROR

"We already have CE marking — EMC and safety are done"

CE marking for EMC and safety does not cover the cybersecurity requirements of Art. 3(3)(d) and (e). These are SEPARATE obligations activated from 1 August 2025.

❌
COMMON ERROR

"The cost is the same everywhere — ₹4 lakh is the market rate"

₹4–8 lakh is what labs charge for full third-party assessment. REDCheck is a documentation tool at €99 per model. If you fully apply EN 18031, you can self-declare via Module A — no Notified Body required.

❌
COMMON ERROR

"My European importer will handle compliance"

Art. 10(1) and 10(3) place the obligation on the manufacturer. The importer (Art. 12) must VERIFY — but cannot do it for you.

5 PDF documents. 30 min. €99. Art. 21 prerequisite for any conformity route.

∅ LAYER 2

Conformity assessment by a Notified Body

If you fully apply EN 18031, self-declare via Module A (Annex II). If not, Art. 17(4) requires third-party involvement.

We do not sell testing. We do not sell consulting. We sell the tool that structures your cybersecurity documentation.

What happens without cybersecurity documentation

Art. 46 of Directive 2014/53/EU requires effective, proportionate and dissuasive penalties.

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

My product connects via WiFi to the user's router. Does Art. 3(3)(d) apply?
Yes. Art. 1(1) applies Art. 3(3)(d) to any radio equipment that communicates over the internet. WiFi via home router = internet communication.
Does Art. 3(3)(e) also apply to my product?
If your companion app collects email, location or usage patterns, Art. 3(3)(e) applies. If no personal data is processed, only Art. 3(3)(d) applies.
Can I use Module A (self-declaration)?
Yes, if you fully apply EN 18031. Art. 17(3)(a) allows Module A.
My importer says documentation is my responsibility. Is that correct?
Yes. Art. 10(1) and 10(3) require the manufacturer to draw up technical documentation.
What happens when the CRA replaces RED?
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 will be repealed from 11 December 2027. REDCheck covers 1 August 2025 to 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.
