You are a Taiwanese manufacturer with CE marking managed by SGS or a local lab for 15+ years. From 1 August 2025, your technical file must include cybersecurity documentation — and your current lab may quote NT$350,000–450,000 per model.

You manufacture networking equipment, access points, routers or consumer electronics in Taiwan. Your European clients have relied on your products for years. Your CE marking for EMC and safety is handled by SGS, TÜV or a local lab. Now Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 activates cybersecurity requirements. Your lab quotes NT$350,000–450,000 (~€10,000–13,000) per model. You have 6 models. That is NT$2.1–2.7 million. REDCheck generates the 5 PDF documents for €99 per product. 6 models = €594. Same articles, same EN 18031 categories.

Three mistakes Taiwanese manufacturers make about the cybersecurity technical file

COMMON ERROR

"Our lab handles everything — we don't need to worry"

Your lab handles EMC and safety. Cybersecurity under Arts. 3(3)(d) and (e) is SEPARATE. Your lab may offer it at NT$350,000–450,000. Or you can generate it independently.

COMMON ERROR

"We already comply — our products have strong security features"

Having strong security features ≠ having DOCUMENTED compliance. Art. 21 requires structured documentation mapping features to EN 18031 categories.

COMMON ERROR

"Our European OEM clients handle CE marking — it's their responsibility"

If you manufacture under your name/brand, Art. 10 applies. If your client places under THEIR brand, Art. 14 makes them manufacturer — but they contractually require YOU to provide the documentation.

Technical documentation and third-party testing: two layers

● LAYER 1

Cybersecurity technical documentation (Annex V)

5 PDF documents. 30 min. €99. Art. 21 prerequisite for any conformity route.

∅ LAYER 2

Conformity assessment by a Notified Body

If you fully apply EN 18031, self-declare via Module A (Annex II). If not, Art. 17(4) requires third-party involvement.

We do not sell testing. We do not sell consulting. We sell the tool that structures your cybersecurity documentation.

What happens without cybersecurity documentation

Art. 46 of Directive 2014/53/EU requires effective, proportionate and dissuasive 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.

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

Frequently asked questions

I already have SGS handling my CE marking for 15 years. Why can't they handle cybersecurity?
They can — at NT$350,000–450,000 per model. REDCheck generates the same structured documentation for €99. The choice is yours.
My European client requires me to provide documentation even though they sell under their brand. Is that correct?
If your client places the product under their brand, Art. 14 makes them the manufacturer. But they will contractually require you to provide the cybersecurity technical documentation. This is standard practice.
Does this apply to WiFi modules I supply to other manufacturers?
WiFi modules not placed on the market as standalone radio equipment may not trigger the obligation directly. But your clients will require supporting data for their product-level compliance.
Can I use Module A (self-declaration)?
Yes, if you fully apply EN 18031. Art. 17(3)(a) allows Module A when harmonised standards are fully applied.
What happens when the CRA replaces RED?
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 will be repealed from 11 December 2027. REDCheck covers 1 August 2025 to 11 December 2027.
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.
