This lecture presents an overview of the key EU product directives governing electronic and electrical equipment: the Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU), the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (2014/30/EU), and the Radio Equipment Directive (2014/53/EU). It outlines their essential requirements, conformity assessment procedures, and the role of harmonised standards in achieving CE marking.
Special attention is given to cybersecurity obligations introduced under the Radio Equipment Directive through Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30. The lecture explains how cybersecurity, network protection, and personal data safeguards are now formal compliance requirements for connected and radio-enabled devices, and how these requirements impact design, risk assessment, technical documentation, and lifecycle management.
The session highlights the interaction between electrical safety, EMC, and cybersecurity within a unified compliance strategy for modern electronic products.
