Delegated act.
EU secondary legislation that fills in technical detail under a parent law
The instrument the European Commission uses to fill in technical detail under an existing EU law without a fresh Parliament and Council vote, and where the actual product requirements under ESPR get written. Its adoption date is not the compliance date: ESPR sets a general rule that a delegated act applies no earlier than 18 months after it enters into force. Reading the adoption year as the deadline undercounts by at least that much.
