Recently, sellers on Amazon Europe have begun receiving reminder emails from the platform regarding the compliance status of their products. With the formal entry into force of the EU’s Cybersecurity Delegated Regulation (Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30), the access requirements for wireless products in the European market have undergone a fundamental change.
Currently, compliance with the EN 18031 standard has shifted from being a “bonus point” to a mandatory “entry ticket”—a necessary prerequisite for the legal sale of all relevant products within the European Union.
Key Policy Points Explained: Master These to Protect Your Selling Privileges
According to Amazon’s official announcements and the latest EU regulations, as of August 1, 2025, all radio equipment placed on the EU market must meet the revised cybersecurity mandatory requirements under the Radio Equipment Directive (RED), specifically corresponding to Articles 3.3 (d), (e), and (f).
Which product types are covered by the new regulations?
- Smart mobile terminals (mobile phones, tablets, etc.)
- Wireless audio devices (Bluetooth headphones, speakers, etc.)
- Video transmission equipment (action cameras, network cameras/webcams, etc.)
- Network connection devices (routers, Wi-Fi extenders, etc.)
- Smart home products (smart switches, security equipment, environmental controls, etc.)
- Wearables and monitoring devices (smart watches, baby monitors, etc.)
What Are the Consequences of Non-Compliance?
Failure to complete compliance upgrades and certification on time may result in:
- Sales Interruption: Non-compliant products will be directly delisted by the platform.
- Financial Losses: Risk of substantial fines imposed by regulatory authorities under relevant laws (such as GDPR or the Cyber Resilience Act).
- Supply Chain Disruptions: After the deadline, goods lacking proper certification will be unable to clear customs in the EU. Existing inventory will also become unsellable, creating dual pressure on both cash flow and inventory.
Recommended Action Steps for Sellers at This Stage
- Confirm Product Scope: First, determine whether your products fall under the scope of the Radio Equipment Directive.
- Initiate Compliance Assessment: Immediately contact a certified laboratory or compliance consultant to begin product testing and the EN 18031 certification process.
- Prepare Technical Documentation: Organize and prepare complete technical documents and draft the Declaration of Conformity.
- Plan Your Timeline: August 1, 2025, is the mandatory implementation date. Ensure you allocate sufficient time for testing, potential remedial actions, and documentation processing.
