Euralarm has released a statement on postponement of the applicability date of the RED DA. The European Commission has taken steps to protect its citizens from cyber-attacks and data breaches by establishing the Delegated Act ((EU) 2022/30) for the Radio Equipment Directive.

Although CEN/CLC/JTC 13/WG 8 is achieving an unprecedented task with the extremely fast development of harmonised standards supporting the RED DA requirements, Euralarm feels that the applicability date of the RED DA (currently August 2024) will prevent the placing on the market of a significant number of existing and new products with a potential high impact on businesses and consumers and should therefore be postponed.
