Radio Equipment Directive (RED) certification refers to a type of certification that complies with the European Union's Radio Equipment Directive (RED) 2014/53/EU. The RED directive is a regulation by the EU for radio equipment sold in the EU market, requiring these devices to meet specific safety, health, and electromagnetic compatibility requirements. The purpose of RED certification is to ensure that radio equipment does not cause harmful interference to radio and telecommunication networks, while also ensuring that these devices do not pose a risk to human health and use appropriate radio spectrum resources. This applies to all wireless devices sold and used in the EU market, including mobile phones, wireless LAN devices, Bluetooth devices, remote control toys, doorbells, etc. To obtain RED certification, manufacturers must conduct a series of tests to demonstrate that their products meet all relevant EU requirements. This usually includes testing for radio spectrum usage efficiency, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and product safety assessment. Certified products can be sold in the EU market and must bear the CE mark on the product, indicating compliance with EU requirements. RED certification is mandatory for radio equipment manufacturers wishing to enter the EU market, as it helps ensure product quality and safety, protecting consumer interests.
