Samsung’s Latest Display Products Earn EU RED Certification

Samsung has recently announced that its latest TVs, monitors, and commercial display products meet the upcoming European Union’s cybersecurity requirements. TUV SUD has evaluated these products and provided certification under the EU’s Radio Equipment Directive (RED). This means the Korean company will be able to continue selling its products in the European market without any issue once the new rules take effect.

Samsung gets EU RED certification for 2024-2025 display products

Introduced in 2016, the EU’s RED ensures that radio-equipped products are safe. In 2022, the EU added new requirements to protect these products against network threats, safeguard personal data, and reduce the risk of fraud. So far, these expanded cybersecurity rules have been optional for OEMs. However, starting in August 2025, they will become mandatory, meaning brands must comply to sell their display products in the EU.

Thankfully, Samsung has taken early steps to meet these new requirements. It has recently obtained EU RED certification from TUV SUD, a global company that offers solutions for safety, security, and sustainability. The company evaluated Samsung’s entire 2024-2025 visual display lineup for the European market. As of now, the lineup includes TVs, monitors, digital signage, and Color E-Paper. However, Samsung says it is working to apply this certification to all applicable product lines.

“With the growing emphasis on security in the industry, we are strengthening security features to stay ahead of this evolving trend,” said Taeyong Son, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “In addition to this achievement, we are committed to introducing innovations with advanced security and technology globally, thereby reinforcing customer trust in our solutions.”

In recent years, Samsung has focused on product security across its ecosystem, not just on law compliance. For instance, last year, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) awarded FIPS 140-3 certification to the CryptoCore (encryption module). Furthermore, since 2015, its Knox security platform has earned Common Criteria (CC) certification every year.
