Dear members, please be advised that the below update of Northern Ireland Legislation introduces the EU 2022/30 implementing legislation on Cybersecurity requirements to the Radio Equipment Directive. Medical Devices and IVDs are exempt, however off the shelf IT equipment with radio functions are in scope, this means that such equipment including that provided with IVDs, placed on the Northern Ireland Market will need to meet the new requirements.
The Radio Equipment (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) Regulations 2025
The Windsor Framework requires that the European Union (“EU”) legislation listed in its Annex 2 is implemented in Northern Ireland. Directive 2014/53/EU (“the Radio Equipment Directive”) is listed in Annex 2 to the Windsor Framework. The Radio Equipment Regulations 2017 (“the 2017 Regulations”) implemented the Radio Equipment Directive in UK law. These Regulations amend the 2017 Regulations as they apply in Northern Ireland to give effect to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30, by inserting a new regulation 6A into the 2017 Regulations.
