The Radio Equipment Directive (RED) 2014/53/EU sets requirements for radio equipment, including those for safety and health, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and efficient use of the radio spectrum. RED Article 3.3 addresses device requirements related to radio-specific issues ranging from common interfaces to cybersecurity.
On Jan. 12, 2022, the Official Journal of the European Union published delegated regulation 2022/30/EU, enforcing compliance requirements to RED Article 3.3(d), (e) and (f) and increasing cybersecurity, personal data privacy and fraud protection for applicable wireless devices available on the EU market. The regulation takes effect on Feb. 1, 2022, and becomes mandatory on Aug. 1, 2024.
The European Standards Organizations (ESOs) have not yet set harmonized standards for Article 3.3. Until they do, manufacturers with products in scope for Article 3.3 will need to demonstrate conformity through a Notified Body like UL before they can place their products on the EU market.
