Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 applies from 1 August 2025. The cybersecurity requirements for radio equipment are no longer future — they are in force.

The original application date was 1 August 2024. Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2444 postponed it by one year to 1 August 2025. There will be no further postponement. From this date, every internet-connected radio equipment placed on the EU market must comply with the cybersecurity requirements of Art. 3(3)(d) and, where applicable, Art. 3(3)(e) and Art. 3(3)(f). Technical documentation under Art. 21 must exist BEFORE the product bears CE marking.

Three mistakes about the August 2025 deadline

COMMON ERROR

"There will be another postponement"

Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2444 was the ONLY postponement. The European Commission published the EN 18031 standards in January 2025. The harmonised standards gap — the reason for the first postponement — no longer exists. No legal mechanism for a further delay has been proposed or discussed.

COMMON ERROR

"The deadline applies only to new products placed on the market after 1 August 2025"

Correct in principle: Art. 10 applies when placing radio equipment on the market. Products already on the market before 1 August 2025 are not retroactively required to have cybersecurity documentation. However, if you continue PLACING new units of the same product on the market after the date (new manufacturing batches, new stock imported), those units must comply.

COMMON ERROR

"The CRA replaces RED in 2027, so I can wait"

The CRA enters full application on 11 December 2027. Between 1 August 2025 and 11 December 2027, Delegated Regulation 2022/30 is the applicable law. That is 28 months. If your product is on the EU market during this window without cybersecurity documentation, you are non-compliant for 28 months. Market surveillance does not wait for the CRA.

Technical documentation and third-party testing: two layers

● LAYER 1

Cybersecurity technical documentation (Annex V)

5 PDF documents. 30 min. €99 per product. The documentation that Art. 21 requires BEFORE your product can bear CE marking.

∅ LAYER 2

Conformity assessment by a Notified Body

If you fully apply EN 18031, you can self-declare via Module A (Annex II) without a Notified Body. If you partially apply or don't apply the harmonised standards, Art. 17(4) requires third-party involvement. REDCheck does not replace a Notified Body — it generates the documentation that is a prerequisite for any conformity route.

We do not sell testing. We do not sell consulting. We sell the tool that structures your cybersecurity documentation under Art. 21 and Annex V.

What happens without cybersecurity documentation

Art. 46 of Directive 2014/53/EU requires Member States to establish 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. 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 — August 2025 deadline

Was the deadline postponed from August 2024 to August 2025?
Yes. Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2444 amended Art. 3 of Del. Reg. 2022/30 to change 'It shall apply from 1 August 2024' to 'It shall apply from 1 August 2025.' The reason was the absence of harmonised standards. EN 18031 was published in the OJEU in January 2025 via Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/138.
What exactly must I have ready by 1 August 2025?
Technical documentation under Art. 21 and Annex V, including cybersecurity requirements. An EU declaration of conformity under Art. 18 and Annex VI referencing Arts. 3(3)(d), (e) and/or (f). CE marking that covers the cybersecurity requirements. All three must exist BEFORE the product is placed on the market.
What is the penalty if I miss the deadline?
Art. 46 of Directive 2014/53/EU: penalties are set by each Member State and must be 'effective, proportionate and dissuasive, including criminal penalties for serious infringements.' Example: Germany §19 Produktsicherheitsgesetz — €3,000–30,000 in fines. Market surveillance authorities can also prohibit sale, order withdrawal or recall under Arts. 40 and 43.
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.
