Three mistakes about documentation tools

COMMON ERROR

"A free online template is good enough"

Free templates do not follow the Annex V structure, do not reference the applicable Directive articles, do not map to EN 18031 categories and are not updated when the regulation changes. A template gives you a blank page. REDCheck gives you a structured, populated documentation package.

COMMON ERROR

"I need a consultancy for this"

Consultancies structure the same documentation, but charge €5,000–20,000 for the structure, not for knowledge you don't have. If you understand your product's cybersecurity features, you have the content. REDCheck provides the structure. €99 vs €5,000+.

COMMON ERROR

"Browser-based tools can't generate professional-grade documents"

REDCheck generates PDFs with exact article citations, EN 18031 category mapping, Annex V/VI/VII structure. The output is identical in legal quality to what a consultancy produces. The difference: you provide the product data, we provide the structure.

Technical documentation and third-party testing: two layers

● LAYER 1

Cybersecurity technical documentation (Annex V)

5 PDF documents. 30 min. €99 per product. Maps your EN 18031 assessment to the Annex V structure. This is what Art. 21 requires BEFORE your product can bear CE marking — regardless of conformity route.

∅ LAYER 2

Conformity assessment route

If you fully apply EN 18031, Art. 16 grants presumption of conformity → Module A self-declaration (Annex II) without Notified Body. If partially applied or not applied: Art. 17(4) requires Module B+C (Annex III) or Module H (Annex IV) with Notified Body. REDCheck generates the Layer 1 documentation that is a prerequisite for EITHER route.

We do not assess your product. We do not interpret EN 18031. We structure the documentation that Art. 21 requires based on YOUR assessment of YOUR product.

What happens without cybersecurity documentation

Art. 46 of Directive 2014/53/EU requires Member States to establish penalties that are effective, proportionate and dissuasive.

🇪🇺
Market withdrawal and sales prohibition
Immediate

Art. 40 of Directive 2014/53/EU. Market surveillance can require withdrawal across all 27 Member States.

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. We do not guarantee that a specific document will be accepted by a market surveillance authority in a specific case, nor by a commercial buyer in a procurement process.

REDCheck is not legal advice. For specific situations, consult a lawyer or specialised regulatory consultancy.

Frequently asked questions — REDCheck documentation generator

What are the RED cybersecurity requirements?
Arts. 3(3)(d), (e) and (f) of Directive 2014/53/EU, activated by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 from 1 August 2025. They require network protection, personal data safeguards, and fraud prevention for applicable radio equipment.
Does REDCheck replace a Notified Body?
No. REDCheck generates the Layer 1 documentation (Art. 21, Annex V) that is a prerequisite for any conformity route. If you fully apply EN 18031, you can self-declare via Module A without a Notified Body. If not, you submit the REDCheck documentation to the Notified Body for examination.
Is my data safe?
100% browser-side processing. No product data is transmitted to any server. The generator runs in JavaScript on your machine. Disconnect from the internet after the page loads — it still works.
What happens when the CRA replaces the RED cybersecurity requirements?
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 will be repealed with effect from 11 December 2027, when the Cyber Resilience Act — Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 — enters full application. REDCheck covers the window from 1 August 2025 to 11 December 2027. For CRA documentation from that date, SolidwareTools offers CRACheck.
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.
⚠️ Important notice: REDCheck is a documentary self-assessment tool, not legal advice or a third-party audit. The document is generated from the data you enter. The accuracy of the data is your responsibility under Art. 10(1) of Directive 2014/53/EU. REDCheck does not replace a conformity assessment by a Notified Body where required under Art. 17(4) of the Directive.
