IoT Cybersecurity Compliance & RED Cybersecurity Requirements

NAVIGATING THE RED CYBERSECURITY REQUIREMENTS

c:youtube

Effective as of August 1, 2025, all consumer IoT devices must meet the Radio Equipment Directive (RED cybersecurity requirements) to remain legally on European shelves. For sourcing, supply chain, and product quality compliance leaders, the time to ensure IoT cybersecurity compliance is now—delays risk costly market disruptions and lost revenue.

Navigating the RED Cybersecurity RequirementS

The European Commission has set a firm deadline: after August 1, 2025, all radio-enabled consumer IoT products entering the EU market must demonstrate full compliance with RED cybersecurity requirements. With certification turnaround times of 6 to 9 months, brands and manufacturers should begin their compliance journey immediately.

Bureau Veritas simplifies your roadmap to compliance. Our comprehensive suite of testing, inspection, and certification solutions helps you efficiently navigate the regulatory landscape, address all compliance gaps, and ensure your devices pass every requirement.
