SafeShark has been taking part in the latest standards development work in CEN/CENELEC, preparing for the introduction of the RED cyber security requirements in Aug 2025.

Three new standards have been developed EN 18031-1, -2, -3 which cover:

• Part 1 common security requirements for internet connected radio equipment;
• Part 2 internet connected radio equipment that processes personal, traffic, or location data, as well as products for childcare, toys, and wearables; and
• Part 3 internet connected radio equipment that enables the holder or user to transfer money, monetary value or virtual currency.

The first review involved national administrations e.g. BSI in the UK, reviewing the drafts and submitting comments. The comments are now being triaged and responded to before a second round of review.

Through our involvement in the work SafeShark is ensuring that its customers will have plenty of notice as to how they can prepare for the RED requirements.
