Productwise Bitesize brings you a short introduction to the Delegated Act to the Radio Equipment Directive on cybersecurity, which aims to increase the level of cybersecurity of wireless devices placed on the EU market.

What is it called?

Delegated Regulation 2022/30 supplementing the EU's Radio Equipment Directive (the Delegated Act).

What is it about?

The European Commission has identified that certain devices, such as smart appliances, wearable radio equipment and certain connected toys, do not have a sufficient level of cybersecurity and privacy protection, and, as a result, are vulnerable to attacks or theft of personal data. From 1 August 2024, the Delegated Act will require manufacturers of products covered by the Delegated Act to include certain technical features to improve the level of cybersecurity of their products.
