RED Cybersecurity DoC Lint (EN 18031)

It reads a declaration of conformity written as Markdown in your repository and checks it against 18 rules taken from Annex VI of Directive 2014/53/EU and from Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30. Every finding names the line, the article behind it and what the line should say instead. The bundled legacy sample returns 13 findings.

Firmware and compliance engineers at radio and IoT manufacturers who place Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or cellular products on the EU market, and the importers who must keep the declaration for ten years. If the declaration lives in the repository next to the firmware it describes, this runs where that file already is.

Templates in circulation still carry 1 August 2024, the date that Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2444 replaced with 1 August 2025, and a generic template has no field for the restrictions attached to the EN 18031:2024 citations or for the notified body those restrictions can require. A spell checker sees none of it.

Free: lint the open file against all 18 rules, 12 error-level and 6 advisory, with line numbers, in VS Code or in the browser. Paid at $29 once: sweep every declaration in the workspace in one pass and write a dated audit report file you can file with the technical documentation.

EU RED compliance consultancy is typically billed at $150 to $250 per hour, and a declaration review is rarely the only line on the invoice; a notified body assessment costs far more again. This checks the paperwork you control before it reaches either desk, for $29 once with a 7-day full refund.
