When must the new Product Liability Directive be implemented?

Under Article 22 of the Product Liability Directive (EU) 2024/2853 member states must bring their national rules into force by 9 December 2026. The new rules also cover software and digital services built into products. The old 1985 directive continues to apply to products placed on the market before that date.
