The EN 18031 (RED-DA) series, incorporated into the harmonized RED standard, will come into force on August 1, 2025 to improve cybersecurity, personal data protection and privacy of all wireless devices and products entering the European Union (EU) market.
The standard is considered one of the latest cybersecurity standards for IoT products globally and the first indication of the long-awaited harmonized standards of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
The EN 18031 standards classify the content of the assessment into four asset types: security assets, network assets, privacy assets, and financial assets. Security assets are mandatory in all three standards, while the other three asset types are distributed across EN18031-1, -2, and -3, each focusing on different aspects depending on the asset type.
Furthermore, the European Commission has adopted a Delegated Act under the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) that activates points (d), (e), and (f) of Article 3(3) for specific categories of radio equipment. This measure aims to improve cybersecurity, personal data protection, and privacy.
Moxa's wireless products comply with the European cybersecurity standard EN 18031. Moxa is committed to ensuring the security and protection of all its wireless products to comply with Article 3.3 of EU Regulation 2014/53/EU by the end of July 2025.
Guided by a secure development lifecycle certified to IEC 62443-4-1 and referencing IEC 62443-4-2, Moxa has developed a portfolio of wireless products for various industries to embrace digital transformation by addressing the significant cabling challenges posed by the exponential increase in connected devices, especially within legacy facilities.
