There is no official “EN 18031 certification” programme. EN 18031 is a harmonised standard supporting compliance with RED Article 3.3(d)(e)(f). Businesses undertake RED cybersecurity compliance based on EN 18031, with two main routes: self‑declaration (Module A) or Notified Body (NB) route.

1. Route Determines Cost Range

Legally, Module A is permitted if fully compliant with EN 18031 and no restrictions apply. However, most businesses choose NB involvement because:

·Restriction clauses often invalidate presumption

·France, Germany, Netherlands prefer NB oversight

·Platforms often require NB‑issued reports

  2. Factors Affecting Cost

·Product type and test scope

·Software/hardware redesign costs

·Laboratory and NB selection

  3. Typical Price Ranges (BLUEASIA Data)

·Low‑risk devices (EN 18031‑1 only)Smart plugs, bulbs: €5,000 – €8,000 (≈ ¥40,000 – ¥65,000)

·Medium‑risk devices (‑1 + ‑2)Wearables, smartwatches: €8,000 – €20,000

·High‑risk devices (all three parts)POS terminals, industrial gateways: €20,000+Basic payment devices: €18,000 – €35,000Advanced devices: €35,000 – €70,000Hardware wallets: from €60,000
