Compliance calendar: dated obligations and milestones

Not legal advice. This calendar lists dates as each official source states them on the date read, and which organisation types and sectors a date affects is the portal’s editorial reading, not a legal qualification. Whether and how a rule applies to an organisation depends on the legal text, national law and the facts of each case: check the official source and seek qualified advice.

Dated obligations and milestones for organisations working with quantum and post-quantum technology: post-quantum migration deadlines, Cyber Resilience Act and NIS2 dates, standards milestones, public dates of the EU dual-use control list, Quantum Act procedure stages and policy changes noted by the editors. Filter by organisation type and sector; each date shows its source, the date it was read and the organisation types it affects.
