AI law obligations, each with an id you can cite.

The rows of the regulatory map, one page each: the clause, who it binds, when it applies, the engineering artefact that evidences it and the stack layer that artefact lives in. The ids do not change when the wording or the dates do.

When the obligations apply

Every date the register states, from every instrument: the day each row first applies and the later steps chapter 08 dates. The dashed line is the register's latest review date.

When every obligation applies One dot per date the register states: circles and triangles are the dates rows first apply, drawn in their status (hatched: the 38 rows an amending act deferred), squares the later steps, filled once reached. Read which dates are behind the dashed as-of line and which are still to come, then follow a tower's label to its instrument in the list below.

Statuses are as of each row's review date. Deferred means an amending act moved the date later (the Digital Omnibus for the EU high-risk duties); Draft or proposed means the instrument is not final.

How the ids work

An id is assigned once. New wording, a moved date or a better artefact keeps the id; a removed row keeps its id reserved, so it is never reused; a split row keeps the id on the part that carries the original meaning. The instrument codes and the full stability promise are on the open data page. The frameworks page describes all 78 instruments the map covers, including those with no row of their own.
