You manufacture WiFi smart plugs. Your importers in Germany, the Netherlands or Italy are now requesting cybersecurity technical documentation under Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30. A Notified Body quotes €5,000–10,000 per product model and 3–6 months of waiting time. You have 14 models. REDCheck generates the 5 PDF documents that cover your obligations under Art. 21 and Annex V for each model. 30 minutes. €99 per product. 100% in your browser — your product data never leaves your computer.

Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 activated the cybersecurity requirements of Art. 3(3)(d) and (e) for all internet-connected radio equipment — including WiFi smart plugs. The obligations are in force.
You enter your product specifications. REDCheck structures the cybersecurity documentation requirement by requirement, following the EN 18031 categories.
CE marking for electromagnetic compatibility (Art. 3(1)(b)) and electrical safety (Art. 3(1)(a)) has been mandatory since 2016. The cybersecurity requirements of Art. 3(3)(d) and (e) are SEPARATE obligations activated by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 from 1 August 2025. Your existing CE marking does not cover them. The technical documentation under Art. 21 must now include cybersecurity.
Art. 1(1) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 applies Art. 3(3)(d) to ANY radio equipment that can communicate over the internet, directly or indirectly. A WiFi smart plug communicates over the internet via your home router. Complexity is irrelevant. A €3 smart plug has the same documentation obligation as a €300 industrial gateway.
Art. 10(1) and 10(3) of Directive 2014/53/EU place the obligation to design, manufacture and draw up technical documentation squarely on the manufacturer. The importer (Art. 12) must VERIFY that the manufacturer has done this — but cannot do it on your behalf. If your importer requests documentation, the obligation is yours.
5 PDF documents generated from your smart plug data. Each cites the exact article of Directive 2014/53/EU that it covers.

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.
Art. 46 of Directive 2014/53/EU requires Member States to establish penalties that are effective, proportionate and dissuasive, including criminal penalties for serious infringements.
Market surveillance authorities can require withdrawal, prohibit sale or order a recall of radio equipment that does not meet the essential requirements of Art. 3 — including the cybersecurity requirements activated by Delegated Reg. (EU) 2022/30. Arts. 40(1), 40(4) and 43 of Directive 2014/53/EU.
Administrative fines under §19. Up to 1 year of imprisonment for serious offences under §20. Germany is the largest single market for Chinese electronics in the EU.
Amazon, eBay and European marketplaces require conformity documentation as a condition to maintain active listings. Without an EU declaration of conformity covering Arts. 3(3)(d) and (e), the product may be suspended immediately. No right to compensation.
