Frequently asked questions

Regulatory Radar is a free, curated feed of every change to EU Digital Product Passport regulations — ESPR delegated acts, EU Battery Regulation amendments, EU Central Registry technical specifications, GS1 Digital Link updates, and CIRPASS-2 working-group decisions. Each update is summarised in plain English, tagged with an urgency level, and linked back to the official EU source. Subscribers receive a weekly digest by email; the archive lives at traceable.digital/resources/regulatory-radar/.

New entries are published as soon as the underlying regulatory event occurs — typically within 48 hours of an EU Commission press release, JRC publication, or delegated-act publication in the Official Journal. The weekly email digest summarises every entry posted in the previous seven days. Critical-urgency events (binding deadline changes, scope extensions, enforcement clarifications) trigger an additional out-of-cycle alert email.

EUR-Lex is the canonical legal text repository — exhaustive, searchable, but written for lawyers. The Commission newsroom publishes press releases without legal interpretation. Regulatory Radar sits between the two: every entry is written by compliance specialists who read the underlying regulation, summarise the practical impact for product manufacturers, and explicitly call out what action manufacturers must take. Source links to EUR-Lex / Commission press releases are included in every entry for verification.

Critical: a binding regulatory event with a hard deadline within 12 months affecting most market participants (e.g. final battery passport delegated act). High: a delegated act, technical specification, or enforcement clarification with a 12-24 month implementation window. Medium: working-group consultation, draft delegated act, or industry-standard publication that will become binding but is still in formative stage. Low: contextual background, related-regulation development, or interpretive guidance that does not directly affect a product manufacturer's compliance roadmap.

Regulatory Radar is curated by the Traceable Digital compliance team, who track ESPR delegated-act drafting through the EU Commission's Better Regulation Portal, attend CIRPASS-2 and BatteryPass Consortium working groups, and monitor the JRC Digital Product Passport platform. Every entry is reviewed by at least one compliance specialist with direct experience implementing the regulation in question for a paying customer.

Regulatory Radar is free. There are no ads, no sponsored entries, no third-party content insertions, and no email-list resale.
