Output: an evidence pack layout that supports audits and market surveillance requests. Use this template to structure your RED technical documentation so it is traceable, retrievable, and consistent across product variants. The template is intentionally evidence-first: every requirement is mapped to a verification method and a stored artifact. ## How to use this template Create one technical file per product family, then add variant appendices (radio configuration, firmware differences, band/region differences). Treat it like a controlled document: version it, review it on every release, and keep it consistent with what is shipped. - Single source of truth: scope memo + requirements mapping + standards list + test evidence - Release gating: no shipment until the file is updated for the shipped configuration - Evidence retrieval: organise so you can export a complete pack quickly *Recommended next step* *Placement: after the template, evidence, or documentation block* ## Keep EU Radio Equipment Directive (RED) Conformity Assessment Template in one governed evidence system SSOT can take EU Radio Equipment Directive (RED) Conformity Assessment Template from reusing this material inside a governed evidence system to a reusable workflow inside Sorena. Teams working on EU Radio Equipment Directive (RED) can keep owners, evidence, and next steps aligned without copying this guide into separate documents. - [Open SSOT for EU Radio Equipment Directive (RED) Conformity Assessment Template](/solutions/ssot.md): Start from EU Radio Equipment Directive (RED) Conformity Assessment Template and keep documents, evidence, and control records in one governed system. - [Talk through EU Radio Equipment Directive (RED)](/contact.md): Review your current process, evidence gaps, and next steps for EU Radio Equipment Directive (RED) Conformity Assessment Template. ## Template sections (recommended structure) Use the following sections as folders or chapters in your technical documentation. If a section doesn't apply, include a short not applicable note with rationale. - 1. Product identification: model/SKU, variants, firmware versions, intended use, installation conditions - 2. Scope memo: why it is radio equipment + exclusions analysis (if any) - 3. Essential requirements map: Article 3 requirements -> acceptance criteria - 4. Standards matrix: harmonised standards used (OJ references) and clause coverage - 5. Verification plan: test plan, lab setup, configurations, acceptance criteria - 6. Test reports: EMC, spectrum, safety; include variant coverage and deviations - 7. Cybersecurity module (if (EU) 2022/30 applies): applicability, controls, tests, results, lifecycle processes - 8. Labeling and user information: markings, restrictions info (where applicable), manuals and safety info - 9. EU Declaration of Conformity (DoC): controlled DoC + referenced acts and standards - 10. Change history: what changed between releases and impact analysis ## Cybersecurity module (drop-in section for (EU) 2022/30) If the delegated cybersecurity regulation applies to your product, keep cybersecurity evidence in a dedicated section with clear traceability. Make it repeatable: store the test plan and how it is run on each release. - Applicability classification: which category triggers apply - Threat model and trust boundaries - Controls and design decisions (secure update, auth, comms, data protection) - Verification: tests, tools, results, and release gates - Vulnerability handling and update policy as lifecycle evidence ## Common mistakes (avoid them) Most technical files fail due to missing traceability or mismatched versions. Fix the process, not the PDF. - DoC references don't match the standards/test reports used - Firmware/configuration shipped differs from what was tested - Variant coverage is unclear (which SKUs are covered by which tests) - Cybersecurity evidence is a generic policy without verification artifacts ## Primary sources - [Directive 2014/53/EU (Radio Equipment Directive) (EUR-Lex)](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2014/53/oj?ref=sorena.io) - Legal basis for technical documentation, conformity assessment and EU declaration of conformity expectations. - [European Commission - Guide to the Radio Equipment Directive (RED Guide, 2018)](https://ec.europa.eu/growth/sectors/electrical-engineering/rtte-directive/?ref=sorena.io) - Practical guidance on technical file content, notified bodies, and CE workflows. - [Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 (EUR-Lex)](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg_del/2022/30/oj?ref=sorena.io) - Cybersecurity activation scope.
