# Every Dated EU Product Obligation, and What to Do About Each One Source: https://activatedigital.ai/knowledge/regulation/deadlines Last verified: 3 September 2026 Summary: Every dated EU product obligation this estate states, with its status word, its instrument, who it lands on and what to do now. Filter by category. ## Direct answer **Every row below is a date this estate already states on a page of its own, read from the same dataset as the dates page so the two cannot disagree. 32 rows, across 9 product categories and the cross-cutting rules that belong to none.** 18 are adopted, 3 planned, 10 indicative and 1 proposed. The status word is the point of the table: an indicative planning date and an applied duty are both dates and only one of them is a deadline. Filter by category with the controls above the table. That works with no JavaScript. Rows are in date order, earliest first, which is the order they arrive in; the column headings sort where script is available. ## The table AllAluminiumBatteriesConstruction productsDetergentsFootwearIron and steelTextilesToysTyresNo single category Every dated EU product obligation the estate states, earliest first. | Date | Rule | Status | Instrument | Who or what it lands on | What to do now | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | 17 August 2023 | Batteries | Adopted | [Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Battery passport Articles 77-78](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/1542/2025-07-31/eng) | Battery Passport rules were adopted in the Regulation, with the passport obligation applying later. | See [timeline](https://activatedigital.ai/knowledge/digital-product-passport/timeline) | | 18 July 2024 | ESPR | Adopted | [Regulation (EU) 2024/1781, ESPR](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1781/oj) | The horizontal DPP architecture became law.

A quarter or a year is written as a quarter or a year rather than converted to a day. **Status** is one of four. Adopted means a duty exists in law from that date. Planned means an institution has committed to a measure or a milestone. Indicative means an official planning date that can move. Proposed means a measure that has been proposed and not adopted. **Instrument** is the CELEX the estate publishes a Legislation node for, so the same law is the same identity everywhere on this site. **Who or what it lands on** and **What to do now** are the source page's own cells. Where a page states no action, the row names the page instead of inventing one. ## What this page will not do It will not add a transition period to an indicative adoption date and publish the answer as a deadline. It will not carry a date the estate does not state on a page of its own. And it will not turn a planning date into a compliance date by putting it in a table next to one. For the same rows arranged by product category rather than by date, use [the dates page](https://activatedigital.ai/knowledge/digital-product-passport/dates-by-category). ## Keep exploring The questions this page usually raises next. - [Another angleNext questionEU DPP Dates by Category: Every Date, and What Kind of Date It IsWhich product categories have a Digital Product Passport date, what kind of date each one is, and which have none.→](https://activatedigital.ai/knowledge/digital-product-passport/dates-by-category) - [CompareNext questionEU Product Regulation Action Radar: What Applies Now and What to DoEU product rules sorted into applies now, starts later and still pending, with the date and the action each one creates.→](https://activatedigital.ai/knowledge/regulation/what-applies-today) - [CompareNext questionIs My Product in EUDR Scope?
