Amazon Germany suspended your wireless security camera listing. The reason: missing cybersecurity documentation under Directive 2014/53/EU. If you sell under your own brand, you are the manufacturer — and the documentation is your responsibility.

You buy WiFi security cameras from Shenzhen. You sell them on Amazon.de under your brand. Amazon suspends your listing: 'Missing cybersecurity documentation under Directive 2014/53/EU. Provide within 30 days.' Your Chinese supplier says: 'CE is your responsibility. We only make.' They are right. Art. 14: anyone who places radio equipment on the market under their own brand is considered the manufacturer. Every day without your listing = lost revenue. REDCheck generates the 5 PDF documents in 30 minutes. €99 per product (~$108). Upload to Seller Central the same day.

Three mistakes US Amazon sellers make about security camera compliance in Germany

COMMON MISTAKE

"My Chinese supplier has CE — I’m covered"

Your supplier’s CE marking covers THEIR product under THEIR brand. Art. 14 makes YOU the manufacturer when you sell under YOUR brand. You need YOUR OWN technical documentation and EU declaration.

COMMON MISTAKE

"Amazon compliance is just a checkbox — I’ll fix it later"

Amazon’s 30-day deadline is real. After 30 days, the listing is removed. Reinstating a removed ASIN is significantly harder than providing documentation on time.

COMMON MISTAKE

"I already dealt with GPSR — cybersecurity is the same thing"

GPSR (Regulation (EU) 2023/988) is a SEPARATE regulation covering general product safety. The cybersecurity requirements under Art. 3(3)(d) and (e) are additional obligations. GPSR compliance does not satisfy RED cybersecurity.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Amazon suspended my listing. How fast can I get the documentation?
30 minutes per product model. You can complete all documentation in a single day.
I’m an Amazon FBA seller, not a 'manufacturer.' Does Art. 10 really apply to me?
If you place radio equipment under your name or trade mark, Art. 14 deems you the manufacturer. Amazon FBA is a logistics service — it does not change your legal status.
My supplier says they have 'CE certification.' Can I use their documents?
CE marking is not a certification — it is a self-declaration. When you sell under YOUR brand, you need YOUR OWN declaration. Art. 14 is explicit.
I sell the same camera on Amazon US and Amazon DE. Is the compliance different?
Yes. The US requires FCC Part 15 (RF emissions). The EU requires SEPARATE documentation under Directive 2014/53/EU, including cybersecurity.
What happens when the CRA replaces RED?
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 will be repealed from 11 December 2027.
Is it a subscription?
No. One-time payment. Each license includes a 30-day editing window and up to 10 regenerations. The 5 PDF documents you download are yours permanently.
Can I request a refund?
Under Art. 16(m) of Directive (EU) 2011/83 on consumer rights, by activating the license you give express consent to the immediate generation of the digital content, waiving the 14-day right of withdrawal. Refunds are accepted only for reproducible technical failures reported to hello@solidwaretools.com within 14 days of purchase.
What if the regulation changes?
If Directive 2014/53/EU, Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 or the EN 18031 standards change during your license validity period, you can regenerate the documents with the updated version of the generator at no additional cost.
⚠️ Important notice: REDCheck is a documentary self-assessment tool, not legal advice or a third-party audit. The document is generated from the data you enter. The accuracy of the data is your responsibility under Art. 10(1) of Directive 2014/53/EU. REDCheck does not replace a conformity assessment by a Notified Body where required under Art. 17(4) of the Directive.
