Overview

EN 18031 is the harmonised standard for the cybersecurity articles 3.3(d)(e)(f) of the Radio Equipment Directive (RED), mandatory for products with radio since 1 Aug 2025. Its three parts cover network protection (-1), personal data protection (-2) and fraud prevention (-3).

We help write and review the IXIT, run the conceptual assessment and functional testing, and reach verdicts along the decision tree — including well-justified "not applicable" cases, which are often what decides pass or fail.

Why it matters

⚖️

Mandatory RED articles

Products with radio can't get CE or be placed on the market without passing 3.3(d)(e)(f).

🧩

IXIT is decisive

Most verdicts hinge on how thoroughly the IXIT and non-applicability justifications are written.

♻️

Reusable evidence

EN 18031 evidence carries over heavily to EN 303 645 / CNS 16190.
