Cybersecurity — RED Art. 3.3(d)(e)(f) + EN 18031 (Mandatory from 1 Aug 2025) + EU CRA 2027 (Slovenia / AKOS) China has IoT and network security standards including GB/T 36951-2018 (IoT sensor network node security technical requirements), GB/T 37093-2018 (IoT data security technical requirements), and MIIT Order No. 12 (2022) on IoT security administration. GB/T 15834 series covers network security more broadly. However, these Chinese standards differ substantially in scope, specific technical controls, and regulatory mechanism from EN 18031. None constitutes a mandatory pre-market cybersecurity certification pathway equivalent to RED Art. 3.3(d)-(f) as activated by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30. China does not have a direct equivalent to the EU CRA.GB/T 36951-2018 — Information security technology; IoT sensor network node security technical requirements (SAMR/SAC)

MIIT Order No. 12 (2022) — Administration of Internet of Things Security (MIIT)		 Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 activated RED Article 3.3(d), (e), and (f) for categories of radio equipment, making cybersecurity essential requirements mandatory from 1 August 2025 (extended from 1 August 2024 by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2444). Applies in Slovenia, as in all EU member states, enforced by AKOS. Scope: (d) internet-connected radio equipment; (e) radio equipment processing personal data, location data, or traffic data; (f) radio equipment that is a toy, childcare article, or wearable. 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), published in the Official Journal on 20 February 2025. Specific EN 18031-1 controls include: network interface disable capability, unique per-device credentials (no universal default passwords), software update mechanisms with integrity verification, encrypted data in transit, and minimisation of attack surface (unused ports/services disabled by default). Looking ahead: the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA, Regulation (EU) 2024/2847) entered into force on 10 December 2024, with main obligations applying from 11 December 2027. The CRA will impose mandatory cybersecurity requirements and vulnerability reporting for products with digital elements placed on the EU market, including Slovenia; manufacturers should begin CRA readiness assessments now. The Slovenian-language DoC must cite EN 18031-1/2/3 for cybersecurity compliance.Directive 2014/53/EU (RED), Art. 3.3(d)(e)(f) — cybersecurity essential requirements; enforced in Slovenia by AKOS

Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 (EU Cyber Resilience Act / CRA) — mandatory cybersecurity for products with digital elements; main obligations from 11 December 2027		 Significant gap effective 1 August 2025. EN 18031 cybersecurity requirements have no direct Chinese regulatory equivalent satisfying RED Art. 3.3(d)-(f). Slovenian-specific context: AKOS enforces RED cybersecurity requirements and can conduct market surveillance audits; Slovenian-language compliance documentation and DoC citing EN 18031 are required for the Slovenian market. Specific EN 18031-1 controls absent from most China-designed IoT products include: (1) ability to disable all network access interfaces; (2) no universal default passwords — unique per-device credentials required; (3) secure update mechanism with cryptographic integrity verification; (4) encryption of all data in transit; (5) attack surface minimisation — unused network ports and services disabled by default. Additionally, the EU CRA (Regulation (EU) 2024/2847) will impose broader mandatory cybersecurity obligations for products with digital elements from 11 December 2027, including vulnerability disclosure, software bill of materials (SBOM), and a 10-year support period — manufacturers should begin CRA readiness assessment now to avoid a parallel compliance gap emerging in 2027.[INFORMATIONAL] RED Art. 3.3(d)-(f) cybersecurity requirements, mandatory from 1 August 2025, represent the largest new compliance gap for Chinese Wi-Fi/IoT devices entering Slovenia. AKOS enforces RED in Slovenia; Slovenian-language DoC citing EN 18031-1/2/3 is required. No Chinese regulatory equivalent exists. Manufacturers must conduct firmware/hardware gap assessments and implement EN 18031 security controls before Slovenian market placement from 1 August 2025. The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA, Regulation (EU) 2024/2847) adds further mandatory cybersecurity obligations from 11 December 2027 — begin CRA readiness planning now.

Electrical Safety — RED Art. 3.1(a) + EN IEC 62368-1:2020+A11 + 230 V / Type C and F Plug (Slovenia / AKOS) In China, the safety standard for information technology equipment is GB 4943.1-2022 (equivalent to IEC 62368-1:2018, second edition), mandatory for CCC-listed products under CNCA-C17-01 (SAMR). Chinese devices use 220 V AC / 50 Hz and GB 2099.1 / GB 1002 plug standards (Type A two-pin flat or Type I two/three-pin oblique flat). GB 4943.1-2022 tracks the IEC 62368-1 second edition, while the EU requires EN IEC 62368-1:2020+A11:2021 (third edition + EU amendment A11). The Chinese standard does not include EU-specific A11 amendment requirements (e.g., certain fire enclosure provisions, earthing conductor requirements). Chinese CCC safety test reports to GB 4943.1-2022 do not satisfy EU RED Art. 3.1(a) conformity.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 2099.1 / GB 1002 — Chinese plug and socket standards (Type A/I, 220 V/50 Hz)		 Radio equipment placed on the Slovenian market must protect the health and safety of persons and property under RED 2014/53/EU Art. 3.1(a). The applicable harmonised safety standard for audio/video, information and communication technology equipment — including Wi-Fi routers, IoT gateways, smart home devices, and Bluetooth accessories — is EN IEC 62368-1:2020+A11:2021. This standard uses a hazard-based safety engineering (HBSE) approach covering electrical energy, thermal energy, mechanical energy, radiation, and chemical energy hazards. EN 60950-1 no longer provides presumption of conformity (transition ended 20 December 2020). Slovenia-specific safety considerations include: (1) mains supply at 230 V AC / 50 Hz — devices must be rated and tested for this voltage; (2) mains-connected Class I devices require a Type F (Schuko, CEE 7/4) earthed plug; Type C (Europlug, CEE 7/16) is only suitable for unearthed Class II devices rated up to 2.5 A — Class I devices need the Schuko grounded connection; Slovenia follows standard EU plug conventions with Type C and F being the national standard; (3) electrical safety oversight in Slovenia is handled by UVTP (Urad RS za varstvo potrošnikov — Slovenian Consumer Protection Administration) and through market surveillance co-ordinated with AKOS for radio equipment. Safety testing must be performed at an EU-recognised or ILAC MRA-member laboratory referencing EN IEC 62368-1:2020+A11:2021, not GB 4943.1.Directive 2014/53/EU (RED), Art. 3.1(a) — health and safety; enforced in Slovenia by AKOS / UVTP

UVTP (Urad RS za varstvo potrošnikov) — Slovenian Consumer Protection Administration; market surveillance for EEE safety		 Three distinct safety gaps for Slovenia: (1) Standard edition — EU requires EN IEC 62368-1:2020+A11:2021 (3rd edition + A11); Chinese CCC testing uses GB 4943.1-2022 (2nd edition); A11 introduces additional EU-specific fire enclosure and earthing conductor requirements absent from GB 4943.1; (2) Voltage and plug — Chinese devices rated 220 V with Type A or Type I plugs must be re-rated and re-plugged for 230 V / Type F (Schuko CEE 7/4) for Slovenian Class I mains devices; Type C (Europlug) is acceptable only for Class II unearthed devices; (3) Language — the Slovenian-language DoC must cite EN IEC 62368-1:2020+A11:2021 for safety. Re-testing to the current EU harmonised standard at an EU-recognised laboratory is required; GB 4943.1-2022 CCC reports are insufficient. Plug adaptation to Schuko Type F is a physical product change required for mains-powered Class I devices.[INFORMATIONAL] EN IEC 62368-1:2020+A11:2021 is mandatory for safety compliance under RED Art. 3.1(a) in Slovenia. EN 60950-1 is no longer valid. Chinese CCC tests to GB 4943.1-2022 (2nd edition) do not cover EU A11 requirements. Mains-powered Class I devices must also be adapted for 230 V / Type F (Schuko) plug before Slovenian market placement. Re-testing at an EU-recognised laboratory and a Slovenian-language DoC citing EN IEC 62368-1:2020+A11:2021 are required. AKOS and UVTP handle market surveillance in Slovenia.

EMC Emissions — RED Art. 3.1(b) + EN 301 489-1 + EN 301 489-17 (Slovenia / AKOS) In China, EMC emissions for wireless/IoT devices are primarily governed by GB/T 9254.1-2021 (Information technology equipment — Radio disturbance characteristics — limits and methods of measurement, equivalent to CISPR 32:2015). Products subject to CCC must be tested at a CNCA-designated laboratory. The Chinese standard broadly aligns with CISPR 32 emission limits, but EN 301 489-17 applies RLAN-specific duty-cycle averaging and test modes absent from GB/T 9254.1. Chinese test reports to GB/T 9254.1 cannot directly substitute for EN 301 489-1 + EN 301 489-17 compliance in the EU RED context.GB/T 9254.1-2021 — Information technology equipment; radio disturbance characteristics; emissions (equivalent to CISPR 32:2015) (SAMR/SAC) Radio equipment placed on the Slovenian market must protect the radio spectrum through emissions control under RED 2014/53/EU Art. 3.1(b). AKOS monitors compliance in Slovenia. The applicable harmonised standard series is EN 301 489. For Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz / 5 GHz) and Bluetooth devices, 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 two parts confer presumption of conformity with RED Art. 3.1(b) for conducted and radiated emissions. Emission limits reference CISPR 32 via the EN 301 489 framework. EN 301 489-17 applies radio-device-specific duty-cycle-adjusted emission averaging and RLAN-specific test modes. Testing must be performed at an ILAC MRA-accredited or EU-recognised laboratory referencing the EN 301 489 harmonised standards, not a Chinese GB/T equivalent. Test reports must identify the EN harmonised standard to support the DoC drafted in Slovenian (slovenščina).Directive 2014/53/EU (RED), Art. 3.1(b) — EMC / radio spectrum protection; enforced in Slovenia by AKOS

Chinese test reports do not reference the EN 301 489 harmonised standards required for RED Art. 3.1(b) presumption of conformity. The DoC supporting CE marking must cite the EN 301 489 standards and be drafted in Slovenian (slovenščina) for Slovenian market documentation. Fresh testing to EN 301 489-1 + EN 301 489-17 at an ILAC MRA-member or EU-accredited laboratory is required; GB/T 9254.1 reports cannot be substituted.

EMC Immunity — RED Art. 3.1(b) + EN 301 489-1 Immunity Levels (IEC 61000-4 Series) (Slovenia / AKOS) In China, immunity requirements for information technology equipment are covered by GB/T 17618-2015 (Information technology equipment — Immunity characteristics — limits and methods of measurement, equivalent to CISPR 24:2010), administered by SAMR/SAC. Chinese immunity testing under GB/T 17618 is voluntary for non-CCC products. GB/T 17618 references similar IEC 61000-4 sub-tests but may specify different severity levels and test configurations compared with EN 301 489-1. Chinese GB/T 17618 immunity test reports do not constitute EU RED Art. 3.1(b) conformity evidence.GB/T 17618-2015 — Information technology equipment; immunity characteristics (equivalent to CISPR 24:2010) (SAMR/SAC) In addition to emissions control, RED Art. 3.1(b) requires radio equipment to be protected against electromagnetic disturbances to ensure adequate immunity. EN 301 489-1 v2.2.3 specifies immunity requirements for radio equipment, referencing the IEC 61000-4 test series: IEC 61000-4-2 (electrostatic discharge, ESD), IEC 61000-4-3 (radiated immunity), IEC 61000-4-4 (electrical fast transient/burst), IEC 61000-4-5 (surge), IEC 61000-4-6 (conducted disturbances), IEC 61000-4-8 (power frequency magnetic field), and IEC 61000-4-11 (voltage dips and interruptions). Slovenia's industrial and residential environment corresponds to the EU harmonised immunity framework. Severity levels specified in EN 301 489-1 must be met; meeting only Chinese GB/T 17618 immunity levels is insufficient because severity levels and test configurations may differ from the EN 301 489-1 framework. Immunity testing must be referenced in the DoC in Slovenian (slovenščina) and the test report must cite EN 301 489-1 v2.2.3.

EU RED conformity assessment requires the immunity test report to reference EN 301 489-1 v2.2.3, not the Chinese GB/T 17618 standard. The Slovenian-language DoC must cite EN 301 489-1 for immunity coverage.

EU Authorised Representative, Importer Obligations, WEEE (ZEOS Slovenia), RoHS, Port of Koper China has no direct equivalent to the EU AR obligation. Chinese manufacturers exporting to Slovenia independently bear all compliance responsibilities, or delegate to a Slovenian/EU importer who assumes legal obligations under Regulation (EU) 2019/1020. China does not have a WEEE take-back registration system equivalent to the ZEOS/ARSO Slovenian framework; the Chinese mandatory recycling fund (Administrative Measures on the Collection and Use of Waste Electrical and Electronic Products Treatment Fund, 2012) is a different mechanism and does not substitute for Slovenian WEEE registration. China RoHS (MIIT Measures, 2016 / SJ/T 11364 labelling) differs in scope and substance limits from EU RoHS 2.China RoHS — Measures for Administration of the Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products (MIIT, 2016)

Administrative Measures on the Collection and Use of Waste Electrical and Electronic Products Treatment Fund (State Council, 2012) — Chinese e-waste recycling fund (not equivalent to WEEE registration)		 Non-EU manufacturers placing wireless/IoT devices on the Slovenian market must appoint an EU Authorised Representative (EU AR) established within the EU before the first product enters the EU/Slovenian market, under Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 Art. 4. The EU AR's name, address, and contact details must appear on the product or its packaging; for Slovenian market documentation these details should be in Slovenian (slovenščina) or at minimum in a widely understood EU language accompanied by Slovenian. The EU AR holds the technical file and DoC on behalf of the manufacturer and is the contact point for AKOS and Slovenian market surveillance authorities. Importers (entities placing non-EU goods on the EU market) bear parallel obligations under Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 Arts. 5–6: they must verify CE marking, DoC, and technical file completeness before distribution. WEEE registration: Slovenian law transposing Directive 2012/19/EU (Uredba o odpadni električni in elektronski opremi, Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia) requires producers to register and participate in a collective take-back scheme; the primary operator in Slovenia is ZEOS (Zavod za odgovorno ravnanje z odpadno električno in elektronsko opremo). ARSO (Agencija RS za okolje — Slovenian Environment Agency) maintains the producer register. RoHS 2 (Directive 2011/65/EU as amended by Directive 2015/863/EU) applies — ten substances restricted; conformity documented in the DoC. REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 applies. Logistics note: Port of Koper (Luka Koper) is Slovenia's principal seaport and a growing alternative to Northern European ports (Rotterdam, Hamburg) for Chinese electronics entering Central and Eastern Europe via the trans-Alpine corridor; customs and market surveillance authorities at Koper conduct CE compliance checks on EEE imports.Regulation (EU) 2019/1020, Art. 4 — EU Authorised Representative obligation for non-EU manufacturers

ZEOS WEEE registration under ARSO is a separate Slovenian national obligation not shared with any other EU member state WEEE registry — manufacturers active in multiple EU markets need a separate registration per country. RoHS 2 and REACH are parallel mandatory obligations. Port of Koper (Luka Koper) is a growing entry point for Chinese electronics into Central and Eastern Europe; complete CE compliance documentation must be available at customs inspection to avoid detention of goods at the port.

The national enforcement authority is AKOS (Agencija za komunikacijska omrežja in storitve Republike Slovenije — Agency for Communication Networks and Services of the Republic of Slovenia), which monitors radio equipment compliance on behalf of the Ministry of Digital Transformation. CE marking, an EU Declaration of Conformity (DoC), and a technical file must be prepared; for Slovenian market placement, the DoC must be in Slovenian (slovenščina) or accompanied by a Slovenian translation. RoHS 2 (Directive 2011/65/EU) applies to restrict hazardous substances in EEE. Slovenia uses 230 V/50 Hz; mains-powered wireless devices must be compatible with Type C (Europlug, CEE 7/16) and Type F (Schuko, CEE 7/4) plug standards — Class I earthed devices require Type F (Schuko). Minimum CE marking height is 5 mm. WEEE registration is required under Slovenian national law transposing Directive 2012/19/EU (Uredba o odpadni električni in elektronski opremi); the primary collective take-back scheme is ZEOS (Zavod za odgovorno ravnanje z odpadno električno in elektronsko opremo).
