RED Directive Testing for CE Marking
Secure EU market access faster with RED compliance expertise from an official EU Notified Body. Element's end-to-end testing, certification, and technical documentation services navigate complex radio equipment regulations on your behalf while providing hands-on guidance throughout your compliance journey.

What is RED Directive Testing for CE Marking at Element?
The Radio Equipment Directive (RED) is the primary legislation for radio transmitting and receiving equipment in the European Union. Introduced in 2016 to replace the R&TTE Directive, it establishes essential requirements for radio equipment accessing the EU market. At Element, we provide comprehensive testing and certification services as an EU Notified Body, enabling you to demonstrate compliance and legally affix the CE mark to your radio equipment.
