ESPR · Working Plan & Commission timeline

DPP sectors: distinguish fixed dates from the indicative timeline

Many web pages mix delegated act adoption and compliance obligation. Here, each sector follows the European Commission’s indicative timeline — and recalls that only certain batteries have a fixed obligation date (18 February 2027).

Reading rule (anti-confusion)

1) Fixed published placing-on-the-market obligation date: batteries, 18 February 2027 (EU Regulation 2023/1542). 2) For the rest under ESPR: the Commission mainly publishes delegated act adoption windows, marked as indicative. 3) After adoption: transition of at least 18 months before compliance.
