The EU’s RED, introduced in 2016, establishes essential requirements for the safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and efficient spectrum use of radio-equipped products. In 2022, the EU announced expanded cybersecurity rules under the RED to improve protection against network threats, safeguard personal data, and reduce the risk of fraud. These new provisions will become mandatory starting August 2025.
The TÜV SÜD assessment covers Samsung’s entire 2024–2025 visual display lineup for the European market, including TVs, monitors, digital signage, and Color E-Paper. Samsung is actively extending this compliance process to all applicable product lines as part of its global regulatory readiness strategy.
This focus on compliance reflects a broader, ongoing commitment to product security across Samsung’s ecosystem. In 2024, the company’s proprietary cryptographic module, Samsung CryptoCore, earned FIPS 140-3 certification from the U.S.
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). As of 2025, Samsung CryptoCore has been integrated into Tizen OS, the operating system powering Samsung Smart TVs, to enhance protection across key product lines including TVs, monitors, and digital signage.
In addition, Samsung Smart TVs are equipped with the Samsung Knox security platform, which has earned Common Criteria (CC) certification every year since 2015. This further underscores Samsung’s leadership in consumer device security.
