Directive 2014/53/EU + Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30
Radio Equipment Directive — Cybersecurity
This form generates your Cybersecurity Technical Documentation in accordance with Arts. 3(3)(d), (e) and (f) of Directive 2014/53/EU (Radio Equipment Directive). Estimated time: 15-25 minutes. We recommend it be completed by the person responsible for product cybersecurity (CISO, CTO or compliance officer). Your progress is saved in the browser.
REDCheck v1.0 covers product classification (Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30, Arts. 1-2), cybersecurity technical documentation (Art. 21 + Annex V of Directive 2014/53/EU), cybersecurity risk assessment (Arts. 3(3)(d), (e) and (f)), the EU declaration of conformity (Art. 18 + Annex VI) and the simplified declaration with printable label (Art. 10.9 + Annex VII). In force from 1 August 2025 until 11 December 2027 (repeal date by the CRA). SolidwareTools monitors the OJEU and EUR-Lex weekly to ensure this product reflects the legislation in force.

🏢 Manufacturer data
📡 Radio equipment data
Art. 10.6 — Element enabling the identification of the radio equipment
Select all that apply. Art. 2 of Directive 2014/53/EU: 'radio equipment' = electrical or electronic product that intentionally emits and/or receives radio waves.
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30, Art. 1 — Art. 3(3)(d) applies to all radio equipment 'capable of communicating over the internet, whether directly or via other equipment'.
Include the use for which the product is designed, the context of use and the operating conditions.
Note on existing products. Every individual unit of radio equipment placed on the EU market from 1 August 2025 must comply with the cybersecurity requirements of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30, regardless of when it was designed or type-approved. Individual units of the same model placed on the market before that date are not affected.
Product Classification
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30, Arts. 1-2 — Determine which essential cybersecurity requirements apply to your product
🚫 Exclusions (Art. 2 of the Delegated Regulation)
Cybersecurity requirements do NOT apply to radio equipment covered by certain sectoral legislation. Answer the following questions to verify whether your product is excluded.
Is it a medical device in accordance with Reg. (EU) 2017/745 or an in vitro diagnostic device in accordance with Reg. (EU) 2017/746?
Art. 2.1 — Exemption from Arts. 3(3)(d), (e) and (f)Includes: patient monitors, insulin pumps, pacemakers, medical imaging equipment with radio, implantable medical devices with wireless communication.
Is it a vehicle or vehicular component covered by Reg. (EU) 2019/2144?
Art. 2.2 — Exemption from Arts. 3(3)(e) and (f)Includes: in-vehicle infotainment systems, electronic control units (ECU), type-approved vehicular telematics modules.
Is it a civil aviation product covered by Reg. (EU) 2018/1139?
Art. 2.2 — Exemption from Arts. 3(3)(e) and (f)Includes: aeronautical communication systems, air navigation equipment, drones subject to civil aviation certification.
Is it electronic road toll equipment covered by Dir. (EU) 2019/520?
Art. 2.2 — Exemption from Arts. 3(3)(e) and (f)Includes: on-board units (OBU) for electronic road tolling, roadside equipment (RSE) for toll collection.
Cybersecurity Requirements
Arts. 3(3)(d), (e) and (f) — Describe how your product meets each essential cybersecurity requirement
🛡️ Network protection — Art. 3(3)(d)
The radio equipment shall not harm the network or its functioning nor misuse network resources, thereby causing an unacceptable degradation of service. Describe the measures implemented.
Access control
Art. 3(3)(d) · EN 18031-1 category: Access Control
Does the product implement access control mechanisms that allow only authorised entities to access security and network assets?
Authentication
Art. 3(3)(d) · EN 18031-1 category: Authentication
Does the product implement authentication mechanisms to verify the identity of entities attempting to access the device or its functions?
Password management
Art. 3(3)(d) · EN 18031-1 category: Password Management
Does the product avoid universal default passwords and force the user to set a password during initial setup? (Critical restriction: if the user can skip setting a password, the presumption of conformity is lost.)
Secure communication
Art. 3(3)(d) · EN 18031-1 category: Secure Communication
Are the product's communications encrypted to protect the confidentiality and integrity of data in transit?
Software integrity and secure boot
Art. 3(3)(d) · EN 18031-1 category: Software Integrity
Does the product verify the integrity of its software/firmware at boot and protect against unauthorised modifications?
Secure updates
Art. 3(3)(d) · EN 18031-1 category: Secure Update
Does the product have a firmware/software update mechanism that verifies the authenticity and integrity of updates before installing them?
Vulnerability management
Art. 3(3)(d) · EN 18031-1 category: Vulnerability Management
Does the manufacturer have a process to identify, manage and disclose product vulnerabilities?
Security event logging
Art. 3(3)(d) · EN 18031-1 category: Logging
Does the product log security-relevant events (access attempts, configuration changes, updates)?
Standards and Conformity Assessment
Art. 17 + Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/138 — Harmonised standards and conformity assessment route
📐 Harmonised standards applied
What are the EN 18031 standards? These are the European technical standards that detail HOW to comply with the cybersecurity requirements of the Directive. If your product follows them fully, it obtains 'presumption of conformity' — meaning the EU assumes it complies. This allows you to use self-declaration (Module A) without paying a Notified Body (which costs €5,000-20,000).

If you do NOT apply them or only partially apply them, you must hire a Notified Body (TÜV, SGS, Bureau Veritas, etc.) to assess your product — more expensive and slower.
Decision (EU) 2025/138 — Harmonised standard for Art. 3(3)(d). Covers: access control, authentication, communication encryption, secure updates, vulnerability management. Example: if your router implements WPA3, TLS 1.3 and has secure boot, you probably apply it fully.
Decision (EU) 2025/138 — Harmonised standard for Art. 3(3)(e). Covers: data minimisation, at-rest encryption, data deletion, parental control (toys/baby monitors). Example: if your IP camera encrypts stored recordings and allows the user to delete their account, you probably apply it.
Decision (EU) 2025/138 — Harmonised standard for Art. 3(3)(f). Covers: strong transaction authentication, anti-tampering protection, payment security. Example: if your payment terminal uses Secure Element and multi-factor authentication, you probably apply it. If your product does NOT allow monetary transfers, select 'Not applicable'.
Conformity assessment route
Which route do I need?
Module A (Self-declaration): You assess and declare conformity yourself. No third-party costs. The fastest and most cost-effective option. Only available if you apply EN 18031 fully and without restrictions. Example: a smart plug manufacturer that implements all EN 18031-1 measures can self-declare.
Module B+C (Notified Body): An authorised laboratory (TÜV, SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek) examines a prototype of your product (Module B) and you ensure series production conforms (Module C). Mandatory if you apply EN 18031 only partially. Typical cost: €5,000-15,000. Timeframe: 2-4 months.
Module H (Full quality assurance): The Notified Body audits your complete quality management system. For large companies with multiple products. Typical cost: €10,000-20,000.
Art. 17 of Directive 2014/53/EU. If in the previous questions you selected 'full application' for all applicable EN 18031 standards, you may choose Module A. If you selected 'partial' or 'not applied', you must choose Module B+C or H.
Annex V(d) — In addition to EN 18031, indicate other standards applied (ETSI EN 303 645, IEC 62443, etc.).
