You assemble smart speakers, IP cameras or set-top boxes in Vietnam for European brands. Three of your clients have sent you a checklist you have never seen before: cybersecurity documentation under Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30. A testing lab quotes $6,000–12,000 per product model and months of waiting. You have dozens of active models. If you cannot respond within 30 days, the client finds another factory — and in Vietnam there are hundreds. REDCheck generates the 5 PDF documents that cover your obligations under Art. 21 and Annex V for each model. 30 minutes. €99 per product. 100% in your browser — your product data never leaves your computer.

Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 activated the cybersecurity requirements of Art. 3(3)(d) and (e) for all internet-connected radio equipment — including every smart speaker, IP camera and set-top box your factory assembles for European clients. The obligations are in force.
You enter your product specifications. REDCheck structures the cybersecurity documentation requirement by requirement, following the EN 18031 categories.
It depends on your contractual role. If you manufacture under YOUR OWN name or brand (even for OEM), Art. 10(1) and 10(3) place the obligation on the manufacturer. If the European client places the product under THEIR brand, they become the manufacturer under Art. 14 — but they will contractually require YOU to provide the documentation. Either way, the documentation starts with you.
CE marking for electromagnetic compatibility (Art. 3(1)(b)) and electrical safety (Art. 3(1)(a)) has been mandatory since 2016. The cybersecurity requirements of Art. 3(3)(d) and (e) are SEPARATE obligations activated by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 from 1 August 2025. Your existing CE marking does not cover them.
Art. 2(1)(12) of Directive 2014/53/EU defines 'manufacturer' as any person who manufactures radio equipment OR HAS radio equipment designed or manufactured. If your factory assembles the product, you are a manufacturer regardless of who designed the circuit. Assembly is manufacturing.
5 PDF documents per product model. Each cites the exact article of Directive 2014/53/EU that it covers.

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.
Market surveillance authorities can require withdrawal, prohibit sale or order a recall. Arts. 40(1), 40(4) and 43 of Directive 2014/53/EU.
Administrative fines under §19. Up to 1 year imprisonment under §20. Germany is the largest EU destination for Vietnamese-assembled electronics.
European importers (Art. 12) must verify documentation before placing on the market. Without it, your European client cannot legally sell. They will find another factory.
