UK Radio Equipment Regulations 2017 for Wireless Products

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and cellular products in Great Britain fall under the Radio Equipment Regulations 2017. CE is recognised, so your EU RED work usually transfers. However, the UK’s cybersecurity law is PSTI, not the EU’s EN 18031 rules, so connected products need a separate check. PCN covers both.
