On December 16, 2025, the UK Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) published the Radio Equipment Regulations (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) 2025 on the official website of the UK government, amending the Radio Equipment Regulations 2017 to ensure that Northern Ireland continues to be consistent with the relevant EU rules. The regulation introduces requirements for connected radio equipment in the EU 2022/30 (EU), focusing on cybersecurity, personal data and privacy protection, and fraud prevention. The new regulations mainly apply to networkable radio equipment, child-related devices and wearable devices, and relevant products placed on the market in Northern Ireland from August 1, 2025 must meet the requirements. Manufacturers must complete the corresponding conformity assessment and affix the CE mark.
