What is RED and RED-DA?


The European Union (EU) Radio Equipment Directive (RED) is evolving. First introduced in 2014, the directive set requirements for safety, compatibility and efficient use of the radio spectrum.

It has recently been expanded to include requirements for cybersecurity and software vulnerabilities that will build on certification processes that are already in place. These additional requirements, which are included in the RED Delegated Act (RED-DA), became mandatory on August 1, 2025, and apply to all end products in the following categories:

  • Article 3.3 (d): Communicate over the Internet, either directly or via any other equipment
  • Article 3.3 (e): Process personal data, traffic data or location data
  • Article 3.3 (f): Enable users to transfer money, monetary value or virtual currency

To achieve compliance, manufacturers must ensure their end products* meets the relevant requirements. We’re ready to help you navigate these updated certification requirements and processes.

*End product refers to devices manufactured by our clients that are then sold to their customers.

Our Products and RED-DA Compliance


Our Products and RED-DA Compliance


To ensure that our wireless SoCs and modules are compliant, we have taken steps to thoroughly understand the requirements and evaluate them against the standards. As a part of our evaluation, we engaged a third-party lab to assess one of our most popular wireless modules. Based on our engagement with the test lab, we have a clear understanding of both the certification requirements and our internal process.

We have determined that our SoCs include the necessary security features needed to meet RED-DA compliance. However, since RED-DA certification applies to end products not the components within, your end product may need to satisfy additional requirements based on its design.

To help you certify your end product, we are developing technical documentation demonstrating our compliance with the new standards. The documentation can be found on our SoC and module product pages. If you cannot locate the documents or have questions about any product’s certification status, please contact us for more information.
