We are delighted to award China-based IoT solutions provider, Robustel, with RED (Radio Equipment Directive) cybersecurity certification for its industrial high-speed router, R1520-4L Global.
The European Union’s (EU) RED Delegated Act on cybersecurity, which aims to strengthen the cybersecurity of internet-connected radio products sold in the EU, becomes mandatory for wireless devices and products accessing EU markets from August 1, 2025.
The R1520-4L Global is Robustel’s latest 4G router providing wireless connectivity to industrial M2M and IoT applications. Achieving the enhanced cybersecurity standard EN 18031 confirms that it meets the EU’s RED 2014/53/EU and qualifies for EU market access.
Desmond Kuang, General Manager IoT Business Unit of Robustel said: “As a company committed to delivering secure, compliant industrial IoT solutions for global markets, we are delighted to have achieved RED cybersecurity certification from SGS. This proof of compliance with EU regulations will boost trust in our products amongst international customers.”
As an accredited Notified Body (NB) for RED, we deliver comprehensive and independent product testing against the standard’s stringent requirements. Working closely with the Robustel team, headquartered in Guangzhou, China, we undertook a thorough review of technical documentation to identify issues and mitigate risks. This was followed by in-depth product testing across key cybersecurity areas including access control, authentication, secure communication, data storage, logging, traffic control and cryptography.
Anson Luo, Head of SGS-CSTC Cybersecurity Service said: “It was a pleasure to support Robustel to verify its product compliance with the new EU standard. As more and more products employ radio technology in their applications, and many of these devices connect to the internet, security threats for products to be attacked and exploited increase. We look forward to supporting retailers and manufacturers around the world to meet the new requirements in the months ahead.”
