EN 18031
Cybersecurity Testing
For radio equipment and connected products, LSD Lab builds a complete RED cybersecurity route from applicability judgment and design review to lab verification, remediation retest and final report delivery.
Standard Overview
Turn product security capability into verifiable evidence
The EN 18031 series supports the cybersecurity requirements under the Radio Equipment Directive. It focuses on network protection, personal data and privacy protection, and anti-fraud objectives for radio equipment and connected products.
A project usually reviews interfaces, authentication, update mechanisms, key management, sensitive parameter protection, communication security and recovery behavior, then preserves reproducible evidence for certification and technical documentation.
Scope
EN 18031-1 / -2 / -3
The applicable part depends on product purpose, connectivity, data processing and whether payment or anti-fraud functionality is involved.
EN 18031-1 Network protection
Network interfaces, access control, authentication, updates, exposed attack surface and communication security.
EN 18031-2 Data and privacy
Personal data, traffic data and location data access, transfer, storage, deletion and privacy protection.
EN 18031-3 Anti-fraud
Devices involving money, monetary value or payment functions, with focus on transaction and credential protection.
Testing Process
Four stages from applicability to report
Early involvement during development reduces repeated changes to hardware, firmware and documentation after formal submission.
Applicability assessment
Confirm connectivity, target market, data processing and business functions to select applicable parts.
Gap and pre-test
Map assets, interfaces, controls and technical files into a prioritized remediation checklist.
Lab verification
Execute standard-based testing and record environment, steps, results and reproducible evidence.
Retest and report
Verify remediation results and prepare report, evidence package and technical documentation support.
Deliverables
Evidence package for certification and technical files
Deliverables are defined according to actual product scope so model, firmware version and test configuration remain traceable.
Applicability recordApplicable standard parts, judgment basis and product-function mapping.
Gap checklistIssue description, risk level and remediation recommendation.
Test evidenceTest environment, operation steps, result records and screenshots.
Report supportRetest conclusion, formal report and technical file support.
