Where the dates come from

About this calculator

From two sources, kept separate on purpose. The ESPR groups follow the first ESPR working plan for 2025–2030 and the Commission's indicative timeline for the delegated acts. Batteries do not: their date comes from Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, which is its own regulation rather than an ESPR act, and 18 February 2027 is a hard date.

The calculator gives you the deadline and the recommended start of preparation, which are the two dates you can act on. For the ESPR groups the obligation follows the adoption of the delegated act by a transition period of at least 18 months — so an act expected in late 2027 means compliance around 2029, not in 2027.

No. Pick your product group and the result appears on the page. The tool is free, there is nothing to register for and nothing is emailed to you.

The adoption dates are indicative and the Commission has moved them before, so treat the year as reliable and the quarter as provisional. The transition period after adoption is the more stable half of the calculation. We publish every regulatory change we act on in a dated changelog, so you can see when a date on this page moves and why.
