The European Commission (EC) has taken measures to strengthen the cybersecurity of wireless devices and products available in the European market by adopting a delegated act under the Radio Equipment Directive (RED). Originally scheduled for enforcement in August 2024, this regulation has been postponed to 2025, due to ongoing preparation of harmonized standards.
Consequently, all wireless devices and products sold in the European market will be required to comply with the RED delegated act effective from August 1, 2025.

In anticipation of the release of harmonized standards, manufacturers can already start their compliance preparations now with the support of SGS Brightsight. They can certify their IoT products against globally recognized cybersecurity standards like ETSI EN 303 645 and IEC 62443-4-2. These standards include requirements that align with the cybersecurity provisions outlined in RED, effectively equipping manufacturers for the upcoming regulatory framework. By partnering with a SGS Notified Body, manufacturers can undergo the evaluation process and receive the SGS Cybersecurity Mark as a stamp of approval. With the SGS Cybersecurity Mark manufacturers can showcase their readiness and compliance with RED requirements before these become mandatory, demonstrating market differentiation and enhancing consumer confidence in their product's safety and reliability.
