You manufacture or sell children's GPS watches, kids' fitness trackers, location-tracking wristbands or any wearable device with radio function designed for children. Art. 1(2)(d) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 activates Art. 3(3)(e) for wearable radio equipment that processes personal data — regardless of internet connectivity. A children's GPS watch processes location data by definition — Art. 2(c) of Directive 2002/58/EC explicitly includes location data. If the wearable also connects to the internet (most do, via a companion app), Art. 3(3)(d) applies additionally. Plus, if the product is designed exclusively for childcare, Art. 1(2)(b) provides a second legal basis for Art. 3(3)(e). Your wearable may trigger up to THREE articles simultaneously. REDCheck documents all applicable requirements in a single package. 30 minutes. €99 per product.

Children's wearables sit at the intersection of three categories in the Delegated Regulation: wearable (Art. 1(2)(d)), childcare (Art. 1(2)(b) if exclusively designed for children), and internet-connected (Art. 1(1) if connected). The cybersecurity documentation must cover ALL applicable requirements.
You enter your product specifications. REDCheck structures the cybersecurity documentation requirement by requirement, following the EN 18031 categories.
Art. 2(1)(1) of Directive 2014/53/EU defines radio equipment as any product that intentionally emits or receives radio waves for communication or radiodetermination. A 4G/LTE module emits radio waves. A GPS receiver uses radio waves for radiodetermination. Your GPS watch is radio equipment on BOTH counts. The Directive applies regardless of the radio technology used.
Art. 1(2)(d) of the Delegated Regulation does not distinguish between adult and children's wearables. It applies to ALL radio equipment designed to be worn on any part of the human body. A children's GPS watch is wearable radio equipment. In fact, a children's wearable is MORE regulated: it may also fall under Art. 1(2)(b) (childcare) if designed exclusively for the care of children, triggering Art. 3(3)(e) through TWO separate legal bases.
GDPR (Regulation 2016/679) regulates how you PROCESS personal data (consent, retention, deletion, rights). Art. 3(3)(e) of Directive 2014/53/EU requires the HARDWARE to incorporate safeguards that PROTECT personal data and privacy. These are complementary obligations: GDPR governs your data practices, RED governs your product's built-in protections. Complying with GDPR does not mean your radio equipment meets Art. 3(3)(e).

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.
Children's wearables combining location tracking and personal data face heightened enforcement scrutiny.
A children's wearable with cybersecurity vulnerabilities — especially one that tracks location — will be prioritised by market surveillance authorities. Recalls are published in the Safety Gate system.
Non-compliant children's products are published in the EU Safety Gate system. Location-tracking devices for children attract particular media attention.
Amazon, eBay and European marketplaces require conformity documentation. Children's products receive heightened scrutiny. Listings can be removed without prior notice.
