Cybersecurity — RED Art. 3.3(d)(e)(f) + EN 18031 & EU CRA 2027 (Czech Republic) China has cybersecurity requirements for connected devices through GB/T 36951-2018 (IoT sensor network node security), GB/T 37093-2018 (IoT data security), and MIIT Order No. 12 (2022) on IoT security. Additionally, the Cybersecurity Law of the People's Republic of China (2017) and the Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL, 2021) impose data-handling obligations. However, these Chinese standards differ substantially from EU EN 18031 in scope, methodology, and specific technical controls. China does not have a direct regulatory equivalent to RED Art. 3.3(d)-(f) that requires network security as a mandatory CE-comparable pre-market condition. The Chinese framework is primarily network-operator-facing and does not impose the device-level security baseline controls mandated by EN 18031-1 (e.g., no universal default passwords, network interface disable capability, OTA update integrity verification).GB/T 36951-2018 — Information security technology; IoT sensor network node security technical requirements (SAMR/SAC)

Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) of the People's Republic of China (2021)		 Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 activated RED Article 3.3(d), (e), and (f) for internet-connected and data-processing radio equipment, making cybersecurity essential requirements mandatory across the EU — including Czech Republic — from 1 August 2025. ČTÚ (Český telekomunikační úřad) is the national authority for RED cybersecurity enforcement in Czech Republic, coordinating with NÚKIB (Národní úřad pro kybernetickou a informační bezpečnost — National Cyber and Information Security Agency of the Czech Republic), which is the Czech national cybersecurity authority under zákon č. 181/2014 Sb. (Cyber Security Act). The harmonised standards are EN 18031-1:2024 (network security for internet-connected radio equipment), EN 18031-2:2024 (privacy for radio equipment processing personal data), and EN 18031-3:2024 (protection from fraud for radio equipment). These standards were published in the Official Journal on 20 February 2025. Applies to: (Art. 3.3(d)) internet-connected radio equipment or equipment able to communicate with the internet; (Art. 3.3(e)) radio equipment processing personal, location, or traffic data; (Art. 3.3(f)) radio equipment that is a toy, childcare article, or wearable. Looking ahead, the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA — Regulation (EU) 2024/2847, published 20 November 2024) will introduce mandatory cybersecurity requirements for products with digital elements (including most Wi-Fi/IoT devices) from approximately August 2027, replacing the RED cybersecurity requirements for many product categories. Manufacturers selling into Czech Republic must plan for the CRA transition.Directive 2014/53/EU (RED), Art. 3.3(d)(e)(f)

Zákon č. 181/2014 Sb. o kybernetické bezpečnosti — Czech Cyber Security Act establishing NÚKIB as national cybersecurity authority		 This is a significant compliance gap effective 1 August 2025 and applicable in Czech Republic as in all EU member states. EN 18031-1 device-level requirements that most Chinese IoT/Wi-Fi products do not currently meet include: (1) No universal default passwords — each device must have a unique credential or require the user to set one at first use; (2) Network interface disable capability — the device must support disabling network access interfaces; (3) OTA software update with integrity verification — update packages must be cryptographically signed; (4) Secure communications — data in transit must be encrypted; (5) Attack surface minimisation — unused ports, services, and protocols disabled by default. Additionally, the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA — Regulation (EU) 2024/2847), expected to apply from approximately August 2027, will impose broader product lifecycle cybersecurity obligations (vulnerability disclosure, security updates for minimum 5 years, CE marking under CRA) that go beyond RED Art. 3.3. ČTÚ coordinates EN 18031 enforcement in Czech Republic; NÚKIB provides national cybersecurity guidance. Chinese manufacturers targeting the Czech market must treat RED cybersecurity and CRA planning as parallel compliance workstreams.[INFORMATIONAL] RED Art. 3.3(d)-(f) cybersecurity requirements are mandatory from 1 August 2025 in Czech Republic, enforced by ČTÚ with NÚKIB coordination. EN 18031-1/2/3 are the harmonised standards. No Chinese regulatory equivalent satisfies this requirement. Most Chinese-market Wi-Fi/IoT products require firmware and hardware redesign to meet EN 18031-1 baseline security controls. Manufacturers should additionally begin CRA (Regulation (EU) 2024/2847) compliance planning for the expected August 2027 application date, which will impose product-lifecycle cybersecurity obligations beyond RED.

Electrical Safety — RED Art. 3.1(a) + EN IEC 62368-1 (Czech Republic / 230 V / 50 Hz / Type C/E) In China, the safety standard for information technology equipment is GB 4943.1-2022 (Information technology equipment — Safety — Part 1: General requirements), technically equivalent to IEC 62368-1:2018 (second edition). It is mandatory for CCC-certified products under CNCA-C17-01 (IT equipment mandatory certification), enforced by SAMR. China operates on 220 V / 50 Hz; standard plugs are Type A and I (GB 2099.1). GB 4943.1-2022 tracks IEC 62368-1 second edition, while the EU harmonised standard EN IEC 62368-1:2020+A11:2021 derives from the third edition (IEC 62368-1:2018/AMD1:2020). The EU-specific A11 amendment adds requirements absent from the second edition and from GB 4943.1-2022. Chinese CCC certification under GB 4943.1-2022 does not satisfy EU RED Art. 3.1(a) in Czech Republic.GB 4943.1-2022 — Information technology equipment; safety; Part 1: General requirements (equivalent to IEC 62368-1:2018 2nd edition) (SAMR/CNCA, mandatory under CCC for IT equipment)
China mains: 220 V AC / 50 Hz; plug type A and I (GB 2099.1)		 Radio equipment placed on the Czech market must protect the health and safety of persons and domestic animals and protect property in accordance with RED 2014/53/EU Art. 3.1(a). The applicable harmonised safety standard is EN IEC 62368-1:2020+A11:2021 (Audio/video, information and communication technology equipment — Part 1: Safety requirements), adopted in Czech Republic as ČSN EN IEC 62368-1 by ÚNMZ. Czech Republic operates on 230 V / 50 Hz AC supply; standard plug types are Type C (Europlug) and Type E (French/Belgian Schuko — also used in Czechia), with two-pin round plugs standard in consumer devices. Wi-Fi routers, IoT gateways, smart home devices, and Bluetooth accessories are within scope of EN IEC 62368-1. EN 60950-1 (ITE safety) and EN 60065 (AV safety) ceased to provide presumption of conformity on 20 December 2020. The A11 amendment to EN IEC 62368-1:2020 adds EU-specific requirements not present in the base IEC standard. Market surveillance for electrical safety is primarily conducted by ČOI (Czech Trade Inspection Authority) and ČTÚ for radio-related aspects. Non-compliant electrical devices are subject to immediate withdrawal from the Czech market and may trigger RAPEX (EU Safety Gate) notifications.Directive 2014/53/EU (RED), Art. 3.1(a)

Zákon č. 90/2016 Sb. — Czech act on technical requirements for products (implementing LVD framework)
Czech Republic mains: 230 V AC / 50 Hz; plug type C (Europlug) and E (Schuko-compatible)		 Three distinct gaps exist: (1) Standard edition gap — EU requires EN IEC 62368-1:2020+A11:2021 (third edition + A11); Chinese CCC tests to GB 4943.1-2022 (second edition equivalent). A11 amendment introduces additional requirements including specific fire-enclosure clauses and earthing conductor requirements not present in GB 4943.1-2022. (2) Voltage and plug type — Czech Republic uses 230 V / 50 Hz with Type C/E plugs. Chinese products designed for 220 V / 50 Hz with Type A/I plugs must be tested with 230 V supply and C/E plug configurations under EN IEC 62368-1 test conditions for the Czech/EU market. (3) RAPEX exposure — ČOI actively participates in EU RAPEX (Safety Gate) notifications; a product flagged in Czech Republic will be notified EU-wide. Manufacturers must re-test to ČSN EN IEC 62368-1 at an EU-recognised laboratory; existing GB 4943.1-2022 CCC test reports are insufficient.[INFORMATIONAL] EN IEC 62368-1:2020+A11:2021 (ČSN EN IEC 62368-1) is mandatory for safety compliance under RED Art. 3.1(a) for Wi-Fi/IoT devices in Czech Republic. EN 60950-1 is no longer valid. Chinese CCC tests to GB 4943.1-2022 (IEC 62368-1 2nd edition) do not cover EU A11 amendment requirements. Products must be tested to 230 V / 50 Hz supply with Type C/E plug at an EU-accredited laboratory. ČOI market surveillance and EU RAPEX participation make electrical safety non-compliance a high-consequence risk in Czech Republic.

EMC under RED Art. 3.1(b) — EN 301 489 Series (Czech Republic / ČTÚ & ČOI) In China, EMC for wireless/IoT devices is primarily covered by GB/T 9254.1-2021 (equivalent to CISPR 32:2015) for emissions and GB/T 17618-2015 (equivalent to CISPR 24:2010) for immunity, administered by SAMR/SAC. Products subject to CCC are tested at CNCA-designated laboratories; others may use CNAS-accredited labs voluntarily. While GB/T 9254.1 emission limits broadly align with CISPR 32, EN 301 489-17 applies radio-device-specific duty-cycle-adjusted emission averaging and RLAN-specific test modes that are absent from GB/T 9254.1. Chinese test reports do not satisfy Czech Republic (EU) RED Art. 3.1(b) EMC conformity assessment.GB/T 9254.1-2021 — Information technology equipment; radio disturbance characteristics (emissions, equivalent to CISPR 32:2015) (SAMR/SAC)
GB/T 17618-2015 — Information technology equipment; immunity characteristics (equivalent to CISPR 24:2010) (SAMR/SAC)		 Radio equipment placed on the Czech market must meet the EMC essential requirement under RED 2014/53/EU Art. 3.1(b), ensuring protection of the radio spectrum from harmful interference (emissions control) and adequate electromagnetic immunity. The applicable harmonised standard series is EN 301 489, adopted in Czech Republic as ČSN EN 301 489 standards by ÚNMZ (Czech Office for Standards). For Wi-Fi and Bluetooth products, the relevant parts are EN 301 489-1 v2.2.3 (common technical requirements — general) and EN 301 489-17 v3.2.4 (specific conditions for broadband data transmission systems — RLAN/Bluetooth). Together these provide presumption of conformity with RED Art. 3.1(b) for conducted and radiated emissions and immunity. Emission limits reference CISPR 32 (EN 55032) and immunity is assessed per IEC 61000-4 series via the EN 301 489 framework. ČTÚ coordinates radio-aspects enforcement; ČOI (Czech Trade Inspection Authority) conducts market surveillance for EMC compliance of consumer radio products under Czech implementation of RED.Directive 2014/53/EU (RED), Art. 3.1(b)

EMC Directive 2014/30/EU — Non-Radio Accessories & Bundled Power Supplies (Czech Republic) In China, EMC for IT and AV accessories (chargers, cables, PSUs) is covered by GB/T 9254.1-2021 (CISPR 32-equivalent, emissions) and GB/T 17618-2015 (CISPR 24-equivalent, immunity) administered by SAMR/SAC. For products subject to CCC, testing is mandatory at CNCA-designated laboratories. Chinese GB/T 9254.1 emission limits broadly align with EN 55032/CISPR 32 class limits, but Chinese test reports do not satisfy the EU EMCD harmonised standard pathway (ČSN EN 55032 / ČSN EN 55035) required for CE marking of accessories sold in Czech Republic.GB/T 9254.1-2021 — Information technology equipment; radio disturbance characteristics (equivalent to CISPR 32:2015) (SAMR/SAC)
GB/T 17618-2015 — Information technology equipment; immunity characteristics (equivalent to CISPR 24:2010) (SAMR/SAC)		 Wireless device product bundles commonly include non-radio accessories such as external power supplies (chargers), USB cables, and docking accessories. These non-radio components do not fall under RED 2014/53/EU; instead they must comply with the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU (EMCD), implemented in Czech Republic by Nařízení vlády č. 117/2016 Sb. EMCD requires that such equipment does not generate electromagnetic disturbance exceeding a level that prevents other equipment from functioning normally, and has adequate immunity. The harmonised standards for IT and AV accessories are EN 55032:2015+A11:2020 (emissions) and EN 55035:2017+A11:2020 (immunity). A separate CE Declaration of Conformity under EMCD must be prepared for any accessory not covered by RED. Market surveillance for EMCD compliance in Czech Republic is handled by ČOI (Czech Trade Inspection Authority). ÚNMZ adopts harmonised EMCD standards as ČSN EN equivalents. Products subject solely to EMCD must also carry CE marking but do not require a Notified Body unless they use non-harmonised standards.Directive 2014/30/EU (EMC Directive — EMCD)

EU Authorised Representative, Czech Importer, Czech-Language Labelling & WEEE zpětný odběr China does not have a requirement equivalent to the EU Authorised Representative obligation. Chinese market access for wireless/IoT devices requires: (1) SRRC Type Approval and MIIT Network Access License (NAL) — mandatory licences administered by the National Radio Administration and MIIT; (2) CCC certification for IT equipment (CNCA-C17-01); (3) China RoHS marking under SJ/T 11364-2014 — a mandatory hazardous substance disclosure label (different from EU RoHS substance limits and scope); (4) Mandatory Mandarin Chinese product labelling under GB 7258 and sector-specific regulations for IT/telecom products. Chinese WEEE is governed by the Administrative Measures for the Recycling and Disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Products (2011, amended 2019) — a separate domestic framework from EU WEEE. None of these Chinese requirements satisfy Czech Republic (EU) obligations.SRRC Type Approval — NRA/MIIT mandatory radio licence for wireless transmitters
MIIT Network Access License (NAL) — mandatory for telecom terminal equipment
CCC (China Compulsory Certification) — CNCA-C17-01 for IT equipment
China RoHS — Measures for Administration of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products (MIIT, 2016); SJ/T 11364-2014 mandatory disclosure marking
Administrative Measures for the Recycling and Disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Products (2011, amended 2019) — Chinese WEEE framework		 Non-EU manufacturers placing wireless/IoT devices on the Czech market face four Czech-specific compliance obligations in addition to the EU-wide CE marking requirements: (1) EU Authorised Representative (EU AR) — mandatory under Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 Art. 4 for manufacturers established outside the EU who do not have an EU importer. The EU AR must be established in any EU member state (not necessarily Czech Republic) and their name and contact address must appear on the product or packaging. The EU AR holds a copy of the DoC and technical documentation and cooperates with ČTÚ and ČOI upon request. (2) Czech Importer obligations — any entity established in Czech Republic that places an imported wireless device on the Czech market assumes importer obligations under Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 Arts. 6–7, including verifying CE conformity and labelling before sale. (3) Czech-language labelling — consumer products including wireless/IoT devices must carry mandatory Czech-language information under zákon č. 634/1992 Sb. o ochraně spotřebitele (Consumer Protection Act). This includes: Czech-language product name, essential safety warnings, instructions for use, and manufacturer/importer identification. Non-Czech labelling (e.g., Chinese or English only) is a market surveillance target for ČOI. (4) WEEE zpětný odběr registration — Czech Republic maintains its own national WEEE registry separate from other EU member states, governed by zákon č. 542/2020 Sb. o výrobcích s ukončenou životností (End-of-Life Products Act). Producers and importers of electronic equipment including wireless/IoT devices must register with a Czech collective scheme (e.g., ASEKOL, ELEKTROWIN, or RETELA) and mark products with the crossed-out wheeled-bin symbol and the Czech producer registration number. WEEE registration in another EU member state does not automatically extend to Czech Republic.Regulation (EU) 2019/1020, Art. 4 — EU Authorised Representative obligation for non-EU manufacturers

Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS 2) — restriction of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (implemented in Czech Republic via zákon č. 542/2020 Sb.)		 Four structural gaps with no direct Chinese equivalent: (1) EU Authorised Representative — no Chinese analogue; must be appointed before first shipment to Czech Republic. The EU AR assumes legal responsibility for product compliance in the Czech market. (2) Czech-language labelling — Mandarin-only or English-only product labelling does not satisfy zákon č. 634/1992 Sb. ČOI regularly targets non-Czech labelling in market surveillance sweeps; fines and product withdrawal orders can result. (3) WEEE zpětný odběr Czech registration — Czech Republic has its own producer registry separate from other EU states. A manufacturer registered for WEEE in Germany, France, or another EU state is not automatically compliant in Czech Republic; a separate registration with a Czech collective scheme (ASEKOL, ELEKTROWIN, or RETELA) is required before products are placed on the Czech market. (4) RoHS 2 (EU) vs. China RoHS — while both restrict similar substances (Pb, Cd, Hg, Cr6+, PBBs, PBDEs), EU RoHS 2 (2011/65/EU) covers 10 substances, has different annexes and exemptions from China RoHS, and requires CE marking for EEE. Manufacturers should plan 2–4 weeks for Czech WEEE registration and 4–8 weeks for EU AR appointment as part of the overall Czech market access timeline.[INFORMATIONAL] Non-EU manufacturers exporting wireless/IoT devices to Czech Republic face four Czech-specific obligations beyond CE marking: EU Authorised Representative appointment, mandatory Czech-language labelling (enforced by ČOI), separate Czech WEEE zpětný odběr registration with an approved collective scheme (ASEKOL/ELEKTROWIN/RETELA), and RoHS 2 compliance. Czech Republic's role as a Central European logistics hub makes these obligations particularly relevant for distributors using CZ as an EU point-of-entry.

Radio Equipment Directive — CE Marking & ČTÚ National Enforcement (Czech Republic) In China, wireless transmitters (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) must obtain SRRC (State Radio Regulation of China) Type Approval under the MIIT/NRA framework, administered by the National Radio Administration. The primary domestic technical standards are YD/T 1127 series for 2.4 GHz spread-spectrum devices and GB 15629.11 for Wi-Fi (equivalent to IEEE 802.11). Telecom terminal equipment also requires a MIIT Network Access License (NAL). CCC is mandatory for IT equipment under CNCA-C17-01. Neither SRRC approval nor CCC satisfies the EU RED Art. 3.2 CE marking pathway enforced by ČTÚ in Czech Republic.MIIT/NRA SRRC Type Approval — mandatory pre-market radio licence for wireless transmitters in China
MIIT Network Access License (NAL) — mandatory for telecom terminal equipment sold in China

GB 15629.11 — Information technology; wireless LAN specifications (equivalent to IEEE 802.11)
YD/T 1127 series — Mobile communication terminal radio frequency test methods (MIIT)		 Czech Republic is an EU member state and EU Radio Equipment Directive (RED) 2014/53/EU applies in full. CE marking is mandatory for all radio equipment placed on the Czech market. The national competent authority for RED enforcement and spectrum management is ČTÚ (Český telekomunikační úřad — Czech Telecommunication Office), established under zákon č. 127/2005 Sb. (Electronic Communications Act). ČTÚ manages frequency spectrum allocation, type-approval coordination, and RED enforcement for radio and telecom equipment. Market surveillance for product safety is handled jointly with ČOI (Česká obchodní inspekce — Czech Trade Inspection Authority). ÚNMZ (Úřad pro technickou normalizaci, metrologii a státní zkušebnictví — Czech Office for Standards) adopts EU harmonised standards as ČSN EN equivalents. For Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz (IEEE 802.11b/g/n/ax) and Bluetooth, the applicable harmonised standard is EN 300 328 v2.2.2. For 5 GHz Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11a/n/ac/ax), EN 301 893 v2.1.1 applies. Compliance with these harmonised standards grants presumption of conformity with RED Art. 3.2. A signed EU Declaration of Conformity (DoC) must be available on request from ČTÚ or ČOI.

Fresh EN 300 328 / EN 301 893 test reports from an EU-accredited (or ILAC MRA-member) test laboratory are required. Key technical gaps: (1) 5 GHz DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) requirement under EN 301 893 for channels 52–140 mandatory for RLAN access points in the EU including Czech Republic; (2) EIRP limits under EN 300 328 (100 mW / 20 dBm for 2.4 GHz) must be verified; (3) ETSI measurement methods for channel mask and occupied bandwidth differ from Chinese test protocols. Czech Republic's role as a key Central European logistics and manufacturing hub means ČTÚ and ČOI conduct active market surveillance; non-compliant products are subject to withdrawal and import ban under RED Art. 40.[INFORMATIONAL] RED Art. 3.2 radio performance CE marking is the primary mandatory requirement for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and IoT devices entering Czech Republic. ČTÚ enforces RED nationally; ČOI conducts product market surveillance. SRRC approval, MIIT NAL, and CCC are not recognised substitutes. Fresh EN 300 328 / EN 301 893 test reports from an EU-accredited laboratory and a signed Declaration of Conformity are required before first market placement.
