Your EU importer — in Hamburg, Rotterdam, or Milan — sends an email: we need cybersecurity technical documentation for all product models. Under Art. 12(2), we must verify conformity before placing products on the EU market. This is not negotiable. Art. 10(3) requires the manufacturer to draw up technical documentation. Art. 12(2) requires the importer to verify it exists. If you do not provide it, the importer MUST stop marketing your products. REDCheck generates the 5 PDF documents your importer needs. 30 minutes. €99 per model.

You enter your product specifications. REDCheck structures the documentation requirement by requirement.
Art. 12(1): importers shall place only compliant radio equipment on the market. Art. 12(2): importers must verify BEFORE marketing. If non-compliant, they face penalties under Art. 46 — fines, product withdrawal, criminal prosecution in some Member States. They are not overreacting.
Art. 21 requires technical documentation containing the elements of Annex V — a specific list including product description, harmonised standards applied, test reports and the EU Declaration of Conformity. Internal quality documents do not satisfy Annex V requirements.
The EU Declaration of Conformity (Art. 18) is the manufacturer's declaration. Art. 10(3): the manufacturer draws up the declaration. The importer keeps a copy (Art. 12(8)) but does not sign it.
