What is the Radio Equipment Directive (RED)?

RED 2014/53/EU applies to all radio equipment placed on the EU market — any product that intentionally emits or receives radio waves. This includes Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth devices, mobile phones, IoT sensors, drones, wireless industrial equipment, and many other product types.

RED requires compliance with essential requirements covering radio spectrum efficiency, EMC, and electrical safety. For most radio products, compliance is demonstrated by applying harmonised ETSI standards. In some cases, a Notified Body involvement is required.

What RED testing typically covers

Test Area	Typical Standards
RF output power & frequency accuracy	ETSI EN 300 328 (2.4 GHz), EN 301 893 (5 GHz), EN 300 220 (SRD)
Occupied bandwidth & spectral mask	Technology-specific ETSI standards
EMC emissions (radiated & conducted)	EN 55032 / CISPR 32, EN 301 489-1 + specific part
EMC immunity	EN 55035, EN 301 489 series
Electrical safety	EN 62368-1 (or EN 60950-1 for legacy products)
SAR (body-worn devices)	EN 50663, EN 62209 series

How ECP matching works

Describe your radio product — technology (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, LTE, proprietary RF), frequency bands, target standards, sample status, and your CE marking timeline. ECP routes your request to accredited RED test laboratories matching your scope.

You receive lab responses with test scope confirmation, timelines, cost estimates and next steps — without searching lab directories or sending unanswered inquiry emails.
