WEBINAR: New EU Cybersecurity rules for radio equipment
From August 2025, a major update to the EU Radio Equipment Directive (RED) will change the way manufacturers and importers approach product compliance. If your products connect to the internet – think WiFi devices, Bluetooth wearables, smart toys, medical equipment – you’ll need to meet strict cybersecurity requirements under the new EN 18031 standard.
To help companies prepare, 24hour-AR and cybersecurity partner SVEP are hosting a free 30-minute webinar covering exactly what you need to know.
Why this matters
The EU’s updated RED and the new Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) set out clear cybersecurity requirements for products with digital components. These rules aim to protect users – and businesses – from growing threats, such as:
- Unauthorised access
- Data breaches
- Insecure software updates
- Weak communication protocols
Failing to comply could result in blocked shipments, legal consequences, and business disruption.
What you’ll learn in the webinar
This short, practical session will walk you through:
- Which types of radio-connected products are affected
- Key principles of the EN 18031 cybersecurity standard
- Your obligations as a manufacturer or importer
- How to run a GAP analysis
- The 5 steps to achieve full compliance
- How to prevent customs delays and regulatory penalties
You’ll also get a first look at SVEP’s tools and templates for testing secure updates, password protection, secure storage, and communication protocols, which are essential elements under EN 18031.
Who should attend?
This webinar is designed for:
- Product managers
- Regulatory and compliance professionals
- Technical writers creating CE documentation
- Importers and EU authorised representatives
Anyone responsible for cybersecurity or risk management in product development
