You manufacture WiFi 6 routers, mesh systems and access points. You sell OEM to European brands and under your own brand on Amazon EU. You are an engineer — you have read the Regulation, downloaded EN 18031-1 and EN 18031-3, and built your own assessment spreadsheet. What you have not done is convert those 340 rows into formal technical documentation conforming to Annex V. Your European OEM clients require YOU to provide the documentation under Art. 14 — they market under their brand, so they are the manufacturer, but the negotiating power is theirs: provide the documentation or they find another OEM. REDCheck structures your assessment into Annex V format. 30 minutes. €99 per product model.

Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 activated cybersecurity requirements for all internet-connected radio equipment — routers are the primary product category.
You already know your product. REDCheck asks the right questions in the right order, maps them to EN 18031 categories, and outputs Annex V documentation.
Assessment is not documentation. Art. 21 of Directive 2014/53/EU requires technical documentation containing the elements of Annex V. A personal spreadsheet is not a formal technical file. Market surveillance authorities and Notified Bodies expect structured documentation with article references, risk matrices and a signed declaration of conformity — not a 340-row Excel.
Under Art. 14, the party placing radio equipment on the EU market under their brand is the manufacturer. That is your OEM client. But the commercial reality is different: if you do not provide the cybersecurity documentation, they will find an OEM that does. In Shenzhen, 200 factories make the same router. The documentation is the differentiator.
EN 18031-1 alone has hundreds of individual requirements across multiple security categories. The harmonised standard grants presumption of conformity (Art. 16) only when FULLY applied. Partial application triggers Art. 17(4): Notified Body required. The assessment must be thorough, and the documentation must prove full application if you want Module A self-declaration.
5 PDF documents generated from your router data. Each cites the exact article of Directive 2014/53/EU that it covers.

The structured output of your engineering assessment. 5 PDF documents per model. What Art. 21 requires before CE marking.
If your router fully applies EN 18031-1 (and -3 where applicable), self-declaration via Module A is sufficient. If you partially apply the standards, or if Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/138 imposes restrictions on your product, Art. 17(4) requires a Notified Body. REDCheck generates the documentation either way — the lab assessment is a separate step.
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.
Art. 46 of Directive 2014/53/EU requires effective, proportionate and dissuasive penalties.
Routers are critical network infrastructure. Market surveillance treats router non-compliance as a priority due to network-level impact.
The Bundesnetzagentur actively enforces RED compliance for networking equipment. Produktsicherheitsgesetz §19.
European OEM clients are contractually requiring cybersecurity documentation from their Asian suppliers. No documentation = no supply agreement.
