There’s no explicit validity date in the Directive and I’ve seen different NBs 
use different expiration dates, however, RED Annex III, Module B, para 7 states:

The notified body shall keep itself apprised of any changes in the generally 
acknowledged state of the art which indicate that the approved type may no 
longer comply with the applicable requirements of this Directive, and shall 
determine whether such changes require further investigation. If so, the 
notified body shall inform the manufacturer accordingly.

The manufacturer shall inform the notified body that holds the technical 
documentation relating to the EU-type examination certificate of all 
modifications to the approved type that may affect the conformity of the radio 
equipment with the essential requirements of this Directive or the conditions 
for validity of that certificate. Such modifications shall require additional 
approval in the form of an addition to the original EU-type examination 
certificate.

The RED certificate is never “irrevecoably valid” until the expiration date as 
the state of the art may have changed, including Harmonised Standards being 
superceded and, of course, the product may have changed to an extent that the 
original assessment needs to be reviewed

Subject: [PSES] RED certificate - validity period

The RED EU-Type Examination Certificates I have seen, are valid for 4 years.
Is the validity period something regulated by the EU or is it up to the 
Notified Body to set the period on the RED certificate?


Best regards
Amund
