Webinar: EN 18031 evaluation explained in RED assessment walk-through

How RED cybersecurity testing really works (Part 2) 

This webinar is a technical deep dive into RED cybersecurity compliance, focusing on how EN 18031 is evaluated in practice and what manufacturers must prepare to pass testing.

Building on the regulatory and scoping overview from Part 1 (link), this webinar provides a RED cybersecurity assessment walk-through of the actual assessment process used by test labs, including documentation requirements, gray‑box cybersecurity testing overview, and common fail points.

If you already know your product is in scope for RED cybersecurity, this session explains what happens next.

What you’ll learn

• Why EN 18031 is the harmonized standard for RED cybersecurity
• How gray‑box cybersecurity testing differs from EMC and safety testing
• The e‑INFO document explained (manufacturer cybersecurity declaration)
• EN 18031 conceptual vs. functional testing explained
• EN 18031’s three‑step evaluation process:
  • Conceptual assessment
  • Functional completeness assessment
  • Functional sufficiency assessment
• Step‑by‑step walkthrough of a real test case
• Practical example: how services like SSH must be declared and assessed
• Common EN 18031 non‑conformities and failure points seen during evaluations
• How EN 18031 preparation supports future CRA compliance

This session is highly practical and is intended to help manufacturers avoid mistakes, reduce delays, and prepare the right documentation upfront.
