Cybersecurity — RED Art. 3.3(d)(e)(f) + EN 18031 (Mandatory from 1 Aug 2025); EU CRA 2027 Outlook; Lithuania NCSC 5G Context China has cybersecurity requirements for connected devices through several overlapping frameworks: 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. The Cybersecurity Law (2017) and Data Security Law (2021) impose broader data and network security obligations on operators. For products imported into or manufactured in China, the MIIT/CMIIT framework includes some security requirements as part of network access licence (NAL) conditions. However, China does not have a direct regulatory equivalent to RED Art. 3.3(d)-(f) — requiring cybersecurity as a pre-market mandatory condition for product approval — nor does China have an equivalent to the EU CRA that mandates security-by-design, vulnerability disclosure, and defined security support periods for IoT hardware. Chinese IoT security standards are generally voluntary or sector-specific and do not satisfy EN 18031 or CRA obligations.GB/T 36951-2018 — Information security technology; IoT sensor network node security technical requirements (SAMR/SAC, voluntary)
GB/T 37093-2018 — Information security technology; IoT data security technical requirements (SAMR/SAC, voluntary)
MIIT Order No. 12 (2022) — Administration of Internet of Things Security (MIIT)
Cybersecurity Law of the People's Republic of China (2017) — operator-level obligations; not a product pre-market condition		 Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 activated RED Article 3.3(d), (e), and (f) for categories of radio equipment sold in Lithuania and across the EU, making cybersecurity essential requirements mandatory from 1 August 2025 (extended from 1 August 2024 by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2444). Article 3.3(d) applies to internet-connected or internet-communicating radio equipment; Art. 3.3(e) applies to radio equipment that processes personal data, location data, or traffic data; Art. 3.3(f) applies to radio equipment that is a toy, childcare article, or wearable. The harmonised standards granting presumption of conformity 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), published in the Official Journal on 20 February 2025. Key EN 18031-1 security controls include: unique per-device credentials (no universal default passwords), network interface disable capability, software update integrity verification, encrypted data in transit, and minimisation of attack surface (unused ports/services disabled by default). In Lithuania, RRT is the authority responsible for enforcing RED cybersecurity requirements through market surveillance. Looking ahead, the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA, Regulation (EU) 2024/2847), published 20 November 2024, will impose additional mandatory cybersecurity requirements for products with digital elements from approximately August 2027. Market context specific to Lithuania: the Lithuanian National Cybersecurity Centre (NCSC — Nacionalinis kibernetinio saugumo centras) published a report in 2021 recommending that Lithuanian mobile operators exclude Huawei and ZTE equipment from 5G networks on national security grounds. This posture reflects a documented, government-level caution toward Chinese ICT vendors that goes beyond the sector average within the EU. Chinese-branded wireless products — particularly those with cellular capabilities, cloud connectivity, or network management functions — should expect heightened scrutiny from RRT in the context of RED cybersecurity checks.Directive 2014/53/EU (RED), Art. 3.3(d)(e)(f) — cybersecurity essential requirements for radio equipment
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 — activating RED Art. 3.3(d)(e)(f) for internet-connected and data-processing radio equipment

Lithuanian NCSC (Nacionalinis kibernetinio saugumo centras) Report 2021 — recommendation to exclude Huawei/ZTE from 5G networks (national security context)		 Significant gap effective 1 August 2025 (RED cybersecurity) and approximately August 2027 (EU CRA). Chinese IoT/wireless products are typically not designed or tested against EN 18031 controls. Specific EN 18031-1 gaps commonly found in Chinese consumer Wi-Fi/IoT products: (1) default passwords — many Chinese devices ship with universal or predictable default credentials; EN 18031-1 prohibits universal default passwords and requires unique per-device authentication; (2) software updates — firmware update mechanisms may lack integrity verification and secure delivery; (3) attack surface — unused services/ports may be enabled by default; (4) network interfaces — devices may lack the ability to disable network access interfaces. For EU CRA (approx. 2027): additional obligations include security-by-design documentation, coordinated vulnerability disclosure policy (CVDP), software bill of materials (SBOM), and defined minimum security support period. Lithuania-specific amplifier: the NCSC 2021 report on Huawei/ZTE and the broader Lithuanian government caution toward Chinese ICT vendors means that RRT market surveillance of Chinese-branded wireless products may apply heightened scrutiny specifically to cybersecurity compliance evidence (EN 18031 test reports, DoC cybersecurity clauses, firmware security architecture). Manufacturers should: assess which EN 18031 parts apply, conduct a firmware/hardware gap analysis, implement required security controls, and either self-certify (if EN 18031 harmonised standards fully applied) or engage a Notified Body.[INFORMATIONAL] RED Art. 3.3(d)-(f) cybersecurity requirements, mandatory from 1 August 2025 and enforced in Lithuania by RRT, are the largest new compliance gap for Chinese Wi-Fi/IoT devices. EN 18031-1/2/3 are the harmonised standards. No Chinese regulatory equivalent satisfies these requirements. Common Chinese product designs (universal default passwords, no update integrity checks, open ports) require remediation. Lithuania's NCSC 2021 5G report on Huawei/ZTE reflects a government posture that elevates cybersecurity scrutiny for Chinese-branded wireless products beyond the EU baseline. EU CRA (approx. 2027) will add security-by-design and vulnerability disclosure obligations. Manufacturers should begin EN 18031 gap analysis immediately.

Electrical Safety — RED Art. 3.1(a) / EN IEC 62368-1:2020+A11 (230 V/50 Hz, Plug C/F) In China, the safety standard for information technology equipment is GB 4943.1-2022 (Information technology equipment — Safety — Part 1: General requirements), which is technically equivalent to IEC 62368-1:2018 (the second edition, not the third edition used in the EU). CCC mandatory certification under CNCA-C17-01 (IT equipment category) requires testing at a CNCA-designated laboratory. China operates on 220 V AC / 50 Hz with plug types A (flat blade, 2-pin), I (oblique flat blade, 3-pin), and the Australian-pattern I (3-pin), all distinct from EU type C/F Schuko. Products designed and tested at 220 V for China are not automatically compliant at 230 V for Lithuania/EU. GB 4943.1-2022 tracks the second edition of IEC 62368-1; the EU-specific A11 amendment and third-edition changes mean Chinese CCC test reports do not satisfy RED Art. 3.1(a).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)
GB 17625.1-2022 — Limits for harmonic current emissions (equivalent to IEC 61000-3-2; relevant for mains-powered devices)		 Under RED 2014/53/EU Art. 3.1(a), radio equipment placed on the Lithuanian market must protect the health and safety of persons and domestic animals and protect property. Lithuania operates on 230 V AC / 50 Hz mains supply with plug type C (Europlug, 2-pin ungrounded) and plug type F (Schuko, 2-pin with side earth clips), conforming to EU harmonised voltage standards. The applicable harmonised safety standard for Wi-Fi routers, IoT gateways, smart home devices, and Bluetooth accessories is EN IEC 62368-1:2020+A11:2021 (Audio/video, information and communication technology equipment — Part 1: Safety requirements), which superseded EN 60950-1 (ITE safety) and EN 60065 (AV safety) with the transition ending on 20 December 2020. EN IEC 62368-1 adopts a hazard-based safety engineering (HBSE) approach covering electrical energy, thermal, mechanical, radiation, and chemical hazards. Products must be tested and compliant at 230 V / 50 Hz as the rated supply. The EU-specific A11:2021 amendment introduces additional requirements not present in the base IEC 62368-1:2020 third edition, including specific fire enclosure clause provisions and earthing conductor requirements relevant for products intended for the EU market.Directive 2014/53/EU (RED), Art. 3.1(a) — health and safety of persons and domestic animals; protection of property

EN 60950-1 — superseded; no longer provides presumption of conformity (transition ended 20 December 2020)
IEC 62368-1:2018 (3rd edition) — international base standard on which EN IEC 62368-1:2020+A11 is derived		 Three compounding gaps exist: (1) Edition difference — GB 4943.1-2022 follows IEC 62368-1 2nd edition; the EU requires EN IEC 62368-1:2020+A11:2021 (3rd edition + EU-specific A11 amendment), which introduces changes to fire enclosure provisions, earthing conductor requirements, and thermal hazard assessment methodology; (2) Voltage difference — Chinese CCC testing is conducted at 220 V/50 Hz; Lithuania/EU requires 230 V/50 Hz compliance; products with power supplies rated 220–240 V may be broadly unaffected, but power supply design and thermal testing at 230 V must be verified; (3) Plug type — EU type C/F Schuko plugs must be used or adapted for the Lithuanian market; Chinese type A/I plugs are not compatible with Lithuanian/EU sockets and cannot be sold as-is. Manufacturers must re-test to EN IEC 62368-1:2020+A11:2021 at an EU-accredited laboratory at 230 V/50 Hz.[INFORMATIONAL] EN IEC 62368-1:2020+A11:2021 is mandatory for electrical safety under RED Art. 3.1(a) for Wi-Fi/IoT devices entering Lithuania. Three gaps versus Chinese CCC: edition (2nd vs 3rd + A11), voltage (220 V vs 230 V), and plug type (A/I vs C/F Schuko). Re-testing at an EU-accredited laboratory at 230 V/50 Hz is required. Chinese GB 4943.1-2022 CCC reports do not satisfy this pathway. EUR-Lex / Official Journal of the European Union2026-06-17 · reference
EMC Emissions — RED Art. 3.1(b) / EN 301 489-1 + EN 301 489-17 (Lithuania / EU) In China, EMC emissions for wireless and IT equipment are governed by GB/T 9254.1-2021 (Information technology equipment — Radio disturbance characteristics — limits and methods of measurement, equivalent to CISPR 32:2015), administered by SAMR/SAC. For products subject to CCC, EMC testing must be conducted at a CNCA-designated laboratory. While GB/T 9254.1-2021 emission limits are broadly equivalent to CISPR 32 (and therefore broadly comparable to EN 301 489-1), the Chinese framework does not include the radio-device-specific test modes of EN 301 489-17 (duty-cycle adjustment for RLAN transmitters, RLAN-specific test patterns). Chinese test reports issued against GB/T 9254.1 are therefore not accepted as EU RED EMC compliance evidence.GB/T 9254.1-2021 — Information technology equipment; radio disturbance characteristics; limits and methods of measurement (equivalent to CISPR 32:2015) (SAMR/SAC)
GB 9254-2008 — prior version (superseded; cited in older CCC test reports)		 Under RED 2014/53/EU Art. 3.1(b), radio equipment placed on the Lithuanian (EU) market must not cause harmful interference to other radio services or systems, and must control its own radiated and conducted emissions. The applicable harmonised standard framework is EN 301 489: specifically EN 301 489-1 v2.2.3 (Common technical requirements for electromagnetic compatibility) combined with EN 301 489-17 v3.2.4 (Specific conditions for broadband data transmission systems, covering RLAN/Wi-Fi and Bluetooth). Emission limits trace to CISPR 32:2015 for radiated and conducted disturbance. EN 301 489-17 applies radio-device-specific duty-cycle-adjusted averaging methods and RLAN-specific measurement configurations that are not present in generic IT equipment EMC standards. Compliance with EN 301 489-1 + EN 301 489-17 together grants presumption of conformity with RED Art. 3.1(b). RRT enforces these requirements through spectrum monitoring in Lithuania. No Lithuania-specific derogation applies — EN 301 489 applies uniformly across the EU.Directive 2014/53/EU (RED), Art. 3.1(b) — electromagnetic compatibility (emissions control and spectrum protection)
EN 301 489-1 v2.2.3 — Electromagnetic compatibility and radio spectrum matters; Part 1: Common technical requirements

CISPR 32:2015 — Multimedia equipment; electromagnetic disturbance characteristics (referenced by EN 301 489-1)		 Chinese GB/T 9254.1 EMC emission test reports cannot substitute for EN 301 489-1 + EN 301 489-17 testing because: (1) EN 301 489-17 specifies RLAN-specific duty-cycle-adjusted emission averaging and measurement configurations absent from GB/T 9254.1; (2) EU conformity assessment under RED requires the test report to explicitly reference the harmonised EN, not the Chinese GB equivalent; (3) measurement configurations (antenna setup, operating mode, duty cycle) may differ, affecting the comparability of results. Fresh emissions testing at an ILAC MRA-member or EU-accredited laboratory to EN 301 489-1 v2.2.3 + EN 301 489-17 v3.2.4 is required for CE marking. No Lithuania-specific derogation applies — EN 301 489 applies uniformly across the EU.[INFORMATIONAL] RED Art. 3.1(b) EMC emissions compliance for Wi-Fi/Bluetooth devices entering Lithuania requires EN 301 489-1 + EN 301 489-17 testing at an EU-accredited laboratory. Chinese GB/T 9254.1 reports are not accepted. No Lithuania-specific derogation; EU harmonised standards apply uniformly. RRT monitors spectrum and may test products at import or retail.

EMC Immunity — RED Art. 3.1(b) / EN 301 489 Immunity Requirements (Lithuania / EU) In China, electromagnetic immunity for IT/wireless equipment is covered by GB/T 17618-2015 (Information technology equipment — Immunity characteristics — limits and methods of measurement, equivalent to CISPR 24:2010). For CCC-listed IT products, immunity testing is conducted at CNCA-designated laboratories. GB/T 17618 specifies immunity levels broadly aligned with IEC 61000-4 series, but does not include RLAN-specific performance criteria equivalent to EN 301 489-17. Additionally, some immunity severity levels in GB/T 17618 may differ from those specified in EN 301 489-1 for the EU market. Chinese immunity test reports under GB/T 17618 are not accepted as evidence of RED Art. 3.1(b) immunity compliance.GB/T 17618-2015 — Information technology equipment; immunity characteristics; limits and methods of measurement (equivalent to CISPR 24:2010) (SAMR/SAC) RED 2014/53/EU Art. 3.1(b) also requires radio equipment to have an adequate level of immunity to electromagnetic disturbances, ensuring normal operation when exposed to typical electromagnetic environments. For Wi-Fi/Bluetooth devices, immunity compliance is demonstrated via EN 301 489-1 v2.2.3 (incorporating relevant IEC 61000-4 series tests) and EN 301 489-17 v3.2.4 (RLAN/Bluetooth-specific immunity performance criteria). Key IEC 61000-4 immunity tests include: EFT/Burst (IEC 61000-4-4), surge (IEC 61000-4-5), conducted disturbance (IEC 61000-4-6), and radiated immunity (IEC 61000-4-3). EN 301 489-17 specifies performance criteria for RLAN operation under these disturbances. Lithuania applies the same harmonised immunity standards as the rest of the EU; there are no national derogations for immunity testing.Directive 2014/53/EU (RED), Art. 3.1(b) — immunity to electromagnetic disturbances
EN 301 489-1 v2.2.3 — Common technical requirements (including IEC 61000-4 series immunity levels and test methods)

EU Authorised Representative, Lithuanian Language Labelling, WEEE Registration (Lithuania) In China, there is no concept equivalent to the EU Authorised Representative. Chinese market access approvals (SRRC, CCC, NAL) are government-issued licences held by the manufacturer or domestic importer; no appointed EU-style representative role exists. Chinese labelling law requires Mandarin (Simplified Chinese) labelling for products sold in mainland China. China has its own WEEE-equivalent regulation — the Administrative Measures on the Recovery and Treatment of Waste Electrical and Electronic Products — but this is a domestic Chinese recycling fund/recycling label system (China RoHS marking, ChinaRecycle label), entirely separate from the Lithuanian WEEE producer registration obligation. Hazardous substance restriction is covered by China RoHS (SJ/T 11364 marking for disclosure of hazardous substances), which differs in scope, exemptions, and disclosure format from EU RoHS 2.SRRC / CCC / NAL — Chinese mandatory approvals (government licences; no EU AR concept)
SJ/T 11364-2014 — China RoHS marking for restriction of hazardous substances in electronic and electrical products (mandatory disclosure label)
Administrative Measures on the Recovery and Treatment of Waste Electrical and Electronic Products (China WEEE/recycling) — separate from Lithuanian WEEE/GROTA/EEPA registration		 Three distinct market-access obligations apply to non-EU manufacturers selling wireless/IoT devices in Lithuania, in addition to CE marking under RED: (1) EU Authorised Representative — Under Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 Art. 4, non-EU manufacturers must appoint an EU Authorised Representative (EU AR) established in an EU member state before the first product enters the EU market, unless an EU importer assumes equivalent obligations. The EU AR's name, registered trade name or trademark, and postal address must appear on the product or its packaging or in an accompanying document. The EU AR must hold the technical documentation and DoC and cooperate with RRT and VVTAT market surveillance authorities. (2) Lithuanian language labelling — Under Lithuanian transposition of RED and the Law on Consumer Protection (Lietuvos Respublikos vartotojų teisių apsaugos įstatymas), product labelling, instructions for use, and safety warnings must be provided in Lithuanian (lietuvių kalba) for products placed on the Lithuanian consumer market. This is a national requirement specific to Lithuania within the EU internal market; CE marking documentation (DoC, technical file) may remain in any EU language accepted by the competent authority, but consumer-facing labelling and instructions must be in Lithuanian. (3) WEEE registration in Lithuania — Lithuania implements the WEEE Directive (2012/19/EU) via the Law on Waste Management and related secondary legislation. Producers or their EU-authorised representatives must register with the relevant Lithuanian authority and join an approved collective compliance scheme such as GROTA (Garantinis elektros ir elektroninės įrangos tvarkymo ataskaita collective scheme) or EEPA (Elektros ir elektroninės įrangos gamintojų asociacija — Electrical and Electronic Equipment Producers Association) before placing EEE on the Lithuanian market. Registration in another EU member state does not satisfy the Lithuanian WEEE obligation. REACH/RoHS 2 (Directive 2011/65/EU) compliance is also mandatory for EEE placed on the Lithuanian market.Regulation (EU) 2019/1020, Art. 4 — EU Authorised Representative obligation for non-EU manufacturers
Directive 2014/53/EU (RED), Arts. 10–13 — manufacturer, importer, distributor obligations; DoC; technical documentation retention (10 years)

Lietuvos Respublikos vartotojų teisių apsaugos įstatymas (Law on Consumer Protection of the Republic of Lithuania) — Lithuanian language requirement for consumer product information		 Three structural gaps with no direct Chinese equivalents: (1) EU Authorised Representative — Chinese manufacturers without an EU importer must appoint an EU AR before first shipment to Lithuania; failure to do so is a RED non-compliance that RRT or VVTAT can act on; (2) Lithuanian language labelling — Mandarin-only or English-only labelling is insufficient for the Lithuanian consumer market; product name, safety warnings, rated voltage (230 V), frequency (50 Hz), manufacturer/EU AR name and address, and instructions for use must all be in Lithuanian; (3) Lithuanian WEEE registration — separate registration from any other EU member state WEEE system; producers must join GROTA or EEPA or register individually with the Lithuanian Environment Ministry; non-registered producers face administrative penalties and product withdrawal. REACH/RoHS 2 substance compliance must also be documented and retained as part of the technical file.[INFORMATIONAL] Three mandatory Lithuania-specific market-access obligations beyond CE marking: (1) EU Authorised Representative (Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 Art. 4) — required before first shipment for non-EU manufacturers without an EU importer; (2) Lithuanian-language labelling and instructions for use — mandatory for consumer products on the Lithuanian market; (3) WEEE registration in Lithuania via GROTA or EEPA collective compliance scheme — mandatory before placing EEE on the Lithuanian market; separate from other EU member state WEEE registrations. None of these have a Chinese regulatory equivalent. Lithuanian Ministry of Environment (Aplinkos ministerija) — responsible authority for WEEE/waste management legislation2026-06-17 · reference
CE Marking under RED — RRT Enforcement in Lithuania In China, market access for wireless devices requires SRRC (State Radio Regulation of China) Type Approval from the National Radio Administration (NRA/MIIT) for any radio transmitter, CCC (China Compulsory Certification) under CNCA-C17-01 for IT equipment, and MIIT Network Access Licence (NAL) for terminal equipment connecting to public telecom networks. These are all pre-market licences. Neither SRRC type approval nor CCC is recognised in Lithuania or elsewhere in the EU as equivalent to CE marking under RED. The Chinese self-declaration concept does not exist — all approvals are government-issued licences.SRRC / NRA Type Approval — mandatory radio licence for wireless transmitters (MIIT/NRA)
CCC — China Compulsory Certification (CNCA-C17-01 for IT equipment; CNCA-C25-01 for telecom terminals)
MIIT Network Access Licence (NAL) — mandatory for terminal equipment accessing public telecom networks		 Lithuania is an EU member state and fully implements the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) 2014/53/EU. CE marking is mandatory for all radio equipment (including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular IoT devices) before placement on the Lithuanian market. The conformity assessment route for most Wi-Fi/Bluetooth products is the self-declaration pathway (Module A — internal production control): the manufacturer applies harmonised standards EN 300 328 / EN 301 893 (radio), EN 301 489-1 + EN 301 489-17 (EMC), and EN IEC 62368-1:2020+A11 (safety), draws up an EU Declaration of Conformity (DoC), and affixes the CE marking. The national regulatory authority is RRT (Ryšių reguliavimo tarnyba — Communications Regulatory Authority of Lithuania), which enforces RED compliance through market surveillance and spectrum monitoring. VVTAT (State Consumer Rights Protection Authority) conducts parallel consumer product safety surveillance. CCC and FCC certifications are not recognised in Lithuania as substitutes for CE marking. Market context: Lithuania's National Cybersecurity Centre (NCSC) published a 2021 report recommending exclusion of Huawei and ZTE equipment from 5G networks, reflecting a heightened regulatory and political caution toward Chinese telecom equipment that may intensify market surveillance scrutiny for Chinese-branded wireless products.Directive 2014/53/EU (Radio Equipment Directive — RED), transposed into Lithuanian law via Lietuvos Respublikos radijo ryšio įstatymas (Law on Radio Communications of the Republic of Lithuania)
Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 — market surveillance and compliance of products (enforced by RRT and VVTAT in Lithuania)
EN 300 328 v2.2.2 — 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radio performance
EN 301 893 v2.1.1 — 5 GHz RLAN radio performance (with DFS mandatory for channels 52–140)
EN IEC 62368-1:2020+A11:2021 — electrical safety (harmonised under RED)		 Complete gap: SRRC, CCC, and NAL do not satisfy CE marking under RED for the Lithuanian (EU) market. Chinese manufacturers must: (1) test to RED-applicable harmonised EN standards at an ILAC MRA-member or EU-accredited laboratory; (2) draw up an EU Declaration of Conformity referencing all applicable directives and harmonised standards; (3) affix CE marking (minimum 5 mm) to the product or packaging; (4) appoint an EU Authorised Representative if no EU importer assumes that role; (5) ensure technical documentation is retained for 10 years. RRT conducts market surveillance in Lithuania and has authority to withdraw non-compliant products from the market and impose administrative penalties. The broader Lithuanian regulatory posture toward Chinese telecom vendors (informed by the NCSC 2021 5G report) means that Chinese-branded wireless products should expect thorough scrutiny during market surveillance checks.[INFORMATIONAL] CE marking under RED 2014/53/EU is the primary mandatory requirement for wireless devices on the Lithuanian market, enforced by RRT. SRRC, CCC, and FCC are not recognised. Chinese manufacturers must complete full RED conformity assessment (testing, DoC, CE mark, EU AR) before first shipment to Lithuania. Lithuania's documented caution toward Chinese telecom equipment (NCSC 2021 5G report) elevates market surveillance risk for Chinese-branded wireless products.
