For all regulations a certain period is specified between the publication of a new regulation and the applicability of the specific regulation requirements. This transition period ensures sufficient lead-time for the market actors (including manufacturers, importers distributors and dealers) to adjust their products and product information for compliance without disruptive effects on production and sales.  Please find more information here.
