# ESPR Compliance Timeline
The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) introduces new compliance requirements on a rolling basis. Here's what manufacturers need to know.
## Key Milestones
| Date | Requirement | |------|-------------| | 2024 | ESPR adopted | | 2025–2026 | Delegated acts define product-specific rules | | 2027 | First DPP requirements take effect | | 2028–2030 | Expanded product categories |
## Preparation Checklist
1. **Audit your product portfolio** to identify which products fall under early ESPR categories. 2. **Gather documentation** like BOMs, material declarations, maintenance procedures. 3. **Choose a DPP platform** to automate generation and maintenance. 4. **Train your team** so compliance and sustainability teams understand the new requirements. 5. **Engage your supply chain** because DPPs require data from upstream suppliers.
## Don't Wait
Companies that start now will be ready when regulations hit. Those that wait risk costly last-minute scrambles.
