Cybersecurity requirements under the EU Radio Equipment Directive

At the end of 2021, the EU Commission published a delegated Regulation to the Radio Equipment Directive (RED), with the aim of improving the cybersecurity of wireless products on the European market. These new requirements will be mandatory from August 2025.

As a manufacturer or importer of connected electrical products in the EU, this means you need to review your CE documentation as well as your products before August 2025. Is the product in its current form compliant? You may need to modify the design? In addition, you will need to update your technical file with proof of compliance. Familiarize yourself with these new requirements now!

In this half-day course, our RED and cybersecurity experts will guide you through:

• Overview of Global and EU Cyber Security regulations context
