Background, what the European Commission is doing, analysis, and next steps. Commission strengthens cybersecurity of radio equipment. Earlier, the Commission authorised a contractor to conduct red slaw impact assessment study on protection in internet-connected radio equipment and wearable radio equipment.

Different options were considered, in line with the inception impact assessment. See the final report of the study. We ask the public and stakeholders to contribute to a data collection exercise. Based on this, we will perform an impact assessment of options that ensure that reconfigurable radio systems approved for Europe’s single market stay compliant with the Radio Equipment Directive after the installation of new or modified software.

Experts are national public administrations, manufacturers and economic operators, consumer organisations, academia, think tanks, compliance assessment bodies, etc. The revision also took account of the need for improved market surveillance. In particular, for the traceability obligations of manufacturers, importers and distributors. It has improved market surveillance instruments.
