SGS Taipei quotes NT$450,000 per model for RED cybersecurity documentation. Art. 17(3)(a) of Directive 2014/53/EU allows Module A self-declaration when you fully apply EN 18031. The same documentation. The same legal basis. NT$3,200 instead of NT$450,000.

You manufacture networking equipment in Taiwan. Your EU telecom clients need cybersecurity documentation. SGS Taipei or TÜV offer full-service assessment at NT$450,000 per model. But Art. 17(3)(a) gives you another path: if you fully apply EN 18031-1, -2 and -3, you can self-declare via Module A (Annex II) without any Notified Body involvement. REDCheck generates the self-declaration documentation. NT$3,200 (~€99) per model. The Module A path is not a shortcut — it is the path the Directive designed for manufacturers who fully apply the standards.

Common mistakes

COMMON ERROR

"Module A is not accepted by European clients"

Module A (Annex II) is a conformity procedure explicitly defined in the Directive. Art. 16 grants presumption of conformity. The EU Declaration of Conformity generated via Module A has the same legal weight as one backed by a Notified Body assessment.

COMMON ERROR

"We always use SGS — switching is risky"

SGS provides valuable testing services. But for Module A cybersecurity documentation, the question is whether you fully apply EN 18031. If you do, Module A is the legally designated path. SGS remains your partner for testing where Notified Body involvement is required.

COMMON ERROR

"Self-declaration looks less professional than a Notified Body certificate"

Module A produces a manufacturer's EU Declaration of Conformity. Module B+C produces a Notified Body certificate. Both are valid conformity routes. Both result in CE marking.

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

When does Module A NOT work and I DO need SGS/TÜV?
Module A requires full application of harmonised standards (Art. 17(3)(a)). You need a Notified Body when: (a) you partially apply EN 18031; (b) no applicable harmonised standards exist; (c) your product falls under restrictions of Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/138. REDCheck still generates base documentation in these cases.
Can my EU authorized representative use REDCheck?
Yes. Art. 11 allows the authorized representative to perform tasks in the mandate. They can fill the REDCheck form using your product specifications.
Will my European telecom clients accept Module A documentation?
Art. 16: radio equipment conforming to harmonised standards is PRESUMED to comply. This presumption applies equally to Module A. Your clients cannot legally require a Notified Body when Module A is the applicable route.
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.
