What happened

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/339 of 16 February 2026 repeals Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30, the act that activated the cybersecurity requirements of the Radio Equipment Directive. The repeal takes effect from 11 December 2027, the day the CRA applies in full, so that the two sets of requirements do not overlap.

What it means for machine builders

If your machines contain radio modules, wireless HMIs, remote access gateways or other radio equipment, their cybersecurity today is assessed under the Radio Equipment Directive. From 11 December 2027 the CRA essential requirements take over for products placed on the market from that date. Plan one transition, not two: technical files prepared for the RED cybersecurity requirements should be rebuilt on the CRA Annex I structure for products you will place on the market after that date.
