The EU Cyber Resilience Act introduces mandatory cybersecurity requirements for products with digital elements placed on the EU market. This blog outlines what the CRA means for ESP32-based products, the obligations for OEM manufacturers, and how Espressif will support customers in achieving compliance.

Espressif is streamlining RED Delegated Act (RED-DA) compliance by providing pre-certified firmware platforms, documentation templates, and partner support to help developers meet the upcoming EN 18031 standard. With flexible pathways including self-declaration and third-party assessments, developers can accelerate EU market readiness for Aug 2025 and beyond.

This guide helps manufacturers of wireless-enabled products based on Espressif modules understand the RED DA (EN 18031) cybersecurity requirements, identify their product’s category, and determine the right path to certification before launching in the EU market.
