Veriserve Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Tadahiro Shigihara), a provider of software quality improvement services, announces that its Cybersecurity Department (8F Heiwa Fudosan Sakuradori Bldg., 1-3-7 Nishiki, Naka-ku, Nagoya, Aichi) has been accredited by PJLA (Perry Johnson Laboratory Accreditation, Inc.), an ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation body, as a testing laboratory for the harmonized standard 'EN 18031-3'. This standard corresponds to the cybersecurity requirements of the EU Radio Equipment Directive (RED).
Veriserve had already been accredited for 'EN 18031-1' and 'EN 18031-2'. With this latest accreditation, the company has established a testing system covering the entire EN 18031 series (-1 to -3), strengthening its ability to address the major cybersecurity requirements of RED. This enables comprehensive security evaluation for radio equipment.
*1 PJLA has signed a Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) with ILAC (International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation). Therefore, test reports and calibration certificates accredited by PJLA are internationally recognized as highly reliable results.
PJLA Accreditation Number: 129441, Certificate Number: L25-171-R1 (Valid until May 31, 2027), Revised: March 8, 2026.
About EN 18031-3:
'EN 18031-3' specifies cybersecurity requirements for radio equipment connected to the internet that processes virtual currency or monetary value. The EN 18031 series was adopted as harmonized standards by the European Commission in January 2025 and is positioned to meet the requirements of RED Article 3(3)(d)(e)(f).
The series consists of three standards:
- EN 18031-1: Security requirements for internet-connected radio equipment.
- EN 18031-2: Security requirements for radio equipment processing data (including childcare, toys, and wearables).
- EN 18031-3: Security requirements for internet-connected radio equipment processing virtual currency or monetary value.
Background:
In recent years, the importance of cybersecurity has increased globally with the spread of IoT and connected devices. The EU has introduced regulations adding cybersecurity requirements for network protection, personal data protection, and fraud prevention under RED (Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30). These requirements apply to radio equipment sold in the EU market starting August 1, 2025.
The European Commission has adopted the EN 18031 series as harmonized standards for these requirements (Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/138). In Japan, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) also published an initiative in August 2024 to build a security conformity evaluation system for IoT products.
With the application of EU cybersecurity regulations, demand for security evaluation is expected to expand. For companies launching products in the EU, compliance with these standards is effectively mandatory. Under these circumstances, Veriserve has obtained accreditation for EN 18031-3 following its previous certifications.
