On August 21, 2025, the European Commission's Directorate-General for Trade and Economic Security issued a statement announcing that the United States and the European Union have reached an agreement on a reciprocal, fair and balanced trade framework agreement (hereinafter referred to as the "Framework Agreement").

Article 13 of the Framework Agreement states that the EU reaffirms that a US conformity assessment body may be designated as a notified body under the Annex to the Telecommunications Equipment Industry of the European Community-United States Mutual Recognition Agreement (1998). These Notified Bodies will be able to carry out the basic requirements tasks outlined in the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU, including cybersecurity. The United States and the European Union will negotiate a mutual recognition agreement on cybersecurity. As of October 31, 2025, there are already four U.S. certification bodies on the EU NANDO website that have been listed as notified bodies in the EU cybersecurity category.
