CE MARKING

INCOMING REGULATION

New RED Cybersecurity Standards

The new RED cybersecurity standards (EN 18031-1, -2, and -3) will become mandatory in the EU starting August 1, 2025. They apply to internet-connected radio equipment, including smart toys, wearables, routers, and devices that handle personal data or digital payments. The standards introduce clear requirements for data protection, secure design, and resilience against cyber threats.

What’s New About the New RED Cyber Standards

The Five Main Points At A Glance

Starting August 1, 2025, internet-connected radio equipment — from routers to smart toys, wearables, and connected appliances — must meet new cybersecurity requirements under the Radio Equipment Directive (RED).

  • EN 18031-1:2024: Establishes common security requirements for internet-connected radio equipment.
  • EN 18031-2:2024: Specifies technical requirements for radio equipment processing personal, traffic, or location data, including internet-connected devices, childcare radio equipment, radio-enabled toys, and wearable radio devices.
  • EN 18031-3:2024: Defines cybersecurity requirements for internet-connected radio equipment that processes virtual money or monetary value.

Devices that handle personal, location, or traffic data now require built-in protections against unauthorized access, data leaks, and misuse.

Products like smart payment terminals and wearables used for financial purposes must meet stricter safeguards against tampering, fraud, and breaches.

Using the EN 18031 series gives manufacturers a presumption of conformity with RED Article 3(3)(d), (e), and (f), simplifying the route to CE marking.
