You built a smart home hub, a connected sensor or an IoT gateway in the US. You opened Amazon DE, FR and IT. Europe is growing — 15-20% of revenue. Then Amazon Seller Support sends a message: Missing cybersecurity documentation under Directive 2014/53/EU. You have FCC certification. You thought that was enough. It is not. An EU compliance consultancy quotes $15,000–20,000 and 3–6 months. You have a board meeting in 6 weeks. REDCheck generates the 5 PDF documents that cover your obligations under Art. 21 and Annex V. 30 minutes. €99 per product. 100% in your browser.

FCC regulates radio spectrum in the US. The EU has its own framework: Directive 2014/53/EU. Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 added cybersecurity requirements that FCC does not cover. Two separate regulatory systems. Two separate obligations.
You enter your product specifications. REDCheck structures the cybersecurity documentation requirement by requirement, following the EN 18031 categories.
FCC and CE are separate regulatory systems. FCC Part 15 governs radio emissions in the US. Directive 2014/53/EU governs radio equipment in the EU. The cybersecurity requirements of Art. 3(3)(d) and (e) have no equivalent in FCC certification. Your FCC certificate is irrelevant for EU cybersecurity compliance.
If you place the product under YOUR name or brand — including via Amazon Seller Central — you are the manufacturer under Art. 10. The obligation to draw up technical documentation (Art. 10(3)) is yours. An importer (Art. 12) must VERIFY you have done this — they cannot do it for you.
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 applies from 1 August 2025. The original date was August 2024, already postponed once by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2444. There will not be another postponement.
5 PDF documents per product model. Each cites the exact article of Directive 2014/53/EU that it covers.
Art. 1, Del. Reg. (EU) 2022/30 + Art. 3(3), Dir. 2014/53/EU.
Art. 21 + Annex V.
Arts. 3(3)(d) and (e).
Art. 18 + Annex VI.
Art. 10(9) + Annex VII.

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.
Arts. 40(1), 40(4) and 43 of Directive 2014/53/EU.
Amazon requires conformity documentation. Without an EU declaration of conformity covering Arts. 3(3)(d) and (e), your ASINs may be suspended immediately.
If Europe is 15-20% of revenue and growing, losing EU market access is a board-level event. The cost of compliance (€99–297) is a rounding error compared to the revenue at risk.
