How to use this document and assess applicability
Use this law or policy document to locate relevant scope, definitions, dates and responsibilities. Legal effect may differ by instrument, and product-specific measures may still be needed before a requirement can be applied.
For an applicability decision, match the official scope against the product, target market, economic-operator role and relevant date. Record assumptions and obtain specialist advice where interpretation carries material risk.
