What is CE RED Certification?
The Radio Equipment Directive (RED) 2014/53/EU governs radio equipment placed on the EU market. Compliance requires meeting essential requirements for safety (LVD/62368-1), EMC, radio spectrum efficiency, and where applicable health and cybersecurity provisions.
Testing Scope
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| RF performance | EN 300 328 / 301 893 / 303 413 and product-specific radio standards |
| EMC | EN 301 489 series emissions and immunity requirements |
| Electrical safety | EN 62368-1 safety of electrical and electronic equipment |
| SAR / RF exposure | EN 62479 / EN 50360 exposure assessment for body-worn devices |
| Receiver category | Receiver category determination and EN 303 687 testing where applicable |
| Cybersecurity (RED DA) | Article 3(3)(d)(e) network protection and privacy readiness |
Certification Process
- Standards review — Determine applicable harmonised standards and whether a notified body is required.
- Test campaign — RF, EMC and safety testing with engineering pre-scan.
- Technical file — Compilation of the EU technical documentation package.
- DoC & marking — Declaration of Conformity support and CE marking guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a notified body required for CE RED?
For most radio products self-declaration with our accredited test report is sufficient; some product families still require a notified body. We confirm during scoping.
How long does CE RED certification take?
Typically 3–5 weeks including testing and documentation. Combined CE RED + FCC projects run in parallel.
Do you support the RED cybersecurity requirements?
Yes. We assess readiness for the RED delegated acts on network protection and privacy, effective from August 2025.
Can you update an existing R&TTE certificate?
R&TTE directives have been superseded by RED; we re-validate and issue RED documentation for existing products.
