Dear Mr. X

My name is Ludger Meinders. Among other things, I am the contact person at our organisation for questions relating to the Radio Equipment Directive (2014/53/EU; RED for short) and its national implementation (FuAG).

The hi-fi audio equipment with Wi-Fi functionality you mentioned falls within the scope of the RED. If this radio equipment was placed on the market after August 1, 2025, the cybersecurity requirements (found in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30) must also be complied with. Among other things, this also regulates requirements regarding passwords. This is intended to minimize the possibility of cyberattacks.

I hope this brief explanation has been helpful.

Best regards,

Ludger Meinders

    The Software Team reviewed several potential methods—such as determining the user’s country based on MAC address or detecting the region through the active IP address—but was unable to find a reliable solution.
