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.
