In the trade of radio equipment exported to the European Union, EN 18031 certification is becoming a key \"threshold\". From August 1, 2025, the new EU regulations require that all radio equipment exported to the EU must be certified by EN 18031. This certification is derived from the EU Authorization Regulation (EU) 2022/30, which incorporates cybersecurity requirements into the compliance framework of the Radio Equipment Directive (RED). The supporting standard EN 18031 series was subsequently released. Equipment that has not passed the certification will be prohibited from entering the EU market.
In the field of radio equipment certification, the EN 18031 standard is an important \"pass\" for products to enter the EU market. It covers radio equipment in multiple fields, clarifies the applicable product range and certification process, and is of great significance for enterprises to enter the EU market in compliance.
In the standard specification system, the EN 18031 series lays a solid foundation for the compliant design of products by meticulously regulating devices in different application scenarios. This series consists of three sub-standards, each with its own focus in terms of application scope and technical requirements, precisely matching the demands of products with different attributes.
Amid the wave of global trade, the access rules of the EU market have been continuously updated. The EN18031 standard, as a mandatory new regulation for the cybersecurity of radio equipment, was incorporated into the RED Directive for implementation on August 1, 2025, and is profoundly influencing the layout of enterprises involved in the EU.
From August 1, 2025, the EU will enforce the EN 18031 series of cybersecurity standards, and non-compliant radio equipment will face market access restrictions! This standard was developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and the European Electrotechnical Commission (CENELEC). It has been included in the coordinated standards of the Radio Equipment Directive (Directive 2014/53/EU), marking that the EU has erected a new \"security barrier\" in the field of radio equipment cybersecurity.
