You are the compliance manager at a US router manufacturer selling in 14 countries. Your Munich consultancy quotes €21,200 for cybersecurity documentation of 3 models. Your VP says: find a cheaper way. REDCheck generates the same 5 PDF documents — citing the same Art. 21, the same Annex V, the same Art. 18 + Annex VI — for €99 per model. €297 total. The documentation references the same legal basis because there is only one: Directive 2014/53/EU. The cost difference is in the delivery model, not in the legal content.

You enter your product specifications. REDCheck structures the documentation requirement by requirement.
Module A (Annex II) requires the manufacturer to establish technical documentation in accordance with Art. 21, take all measures to ensure manufacturing compliance, affix CE marking and draw up a written EU declaration of conformity. The documentation requirements are IDENTICAL to Module B+C — the only difference is that no Notified Body reviews it before market placement. The documentation itself must be equally rigorous.
Market surveillance authorities verify compliance with the Directive, not the provenance of the documentation. Art. 10(12) requires the manufacturer to provide 'all the information and documentation necessary to demonstrate conformity.' Whether that documentation was prepared by a consultant or by the manufacturer is irrelevant — what matters is that it is complete, accurate and references the correct legal basis.
Module A is the DEFAULT conformity route under Art. 17(3)(a) when harmonised standards are fully applied. It is the route intended for most manufacturers. The Directive specifically provides for self-declaration to avoid creating unnecessary barriers to trade (recital 40). REDCheck makes it practical by structuring the assessment into a guided form.

Market surveillance authorities can request all documentation at any time. The manufacturer must provide it in a language the authority can understand. Module A self-declaration does not reduce the documentation standard.
