Directive 2014/53/EU now requires cybersecurity documentation for your electronics. The Customs Union does not exempt you. The obligation is on you as manufacturer under Art. 10.

You export consumer electronics from Turkey to the EU. From 1 August 2025, Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 activates cybersecurity requirements. The Customs Union covers tariffs — NOT technical harmonisation. A consultancy quotes €5,000–10,000 per model. REDCheck generates 5 PDF documents. 30 minutes. €99 per product.

Three mistakes Turkish electronics exporters make about Directive 2014/53/EU cybersecurity

❌
COMMON ERROR

"The Customs Union means we are treated like an EU manufacturer"

The Customs Union eliminates tariffs. It does NOT harmonise technical regulations. Directive 2014/53/EU applies to Turkey as a third-country manufacturer.

❌
COMMON ERROR

"Directive 2014/53/EU is about radio spectrum — not cybersecurity"

The Directive covers safety, EMC, spectrum AND cybersecurity under Art. 3(3)(d), (e) and (f), activated by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30.

❌
COMMON ERROR

"My importer handles compliance"

Art. 10(1) and 10(3): obligation is on the manufacturer.

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.
