The electronics page asserted a delegated act "adopted on 18 March 2026" and "in force on 1 April 2026", a two-tier rollout with dated compliance windows, and four named priority product classes. None of it is traceable to any instrument in the Official Journal.
It also listed foldable-display devices as first in scope — the one device class the governing regulation expressly excludes — and told a named class of manufacturer they were "already subject to DPP requirements".
That last sentence is the reason this is separated out and goes first: it is the one place on either site where a reader could take a compliance decision on invented law.
Withdrawn, not corrected in place
Every sentence on the page inherited from the act that does not exist, including its framing as "the most commercially significant DPP mandate in the near term". There is no true version of it to edit toward, so the page is unrouted and its body replaced with a record of what was withdrawn, why, what is actually true, and where to source the rewrite.
Leaving the original text behind an underscore would have left fabricated law in a public repository, one character from republication.
What is actually true
Electronics is not an ESPR sector. Its basis is ecodesign and energy labelling — Reg. (EU) 2023/1670 Art. 1(1) and Reg. (EU) 2023/1669, in force since 20 June 2025, covering smartphones, other mobile phones, cordless phones and slate tablets, and only those.
The sector manifest independently confirms the "low-end tier" was invented: schema v1.2.0 removed laptop, monitor, TV, server, router, charger, earphone and PCB because none of them carries a DPP obligation, in force or dated, under any EU instrument.
The ESPR overview's table row now carries that basis instead of the fabricated one, and its unsold-goods citation is corrected from Art. 22 to Art. 25 — which the same page already said correctly two sections earlier.
Four references were repointed
The docs sidebar, the sector list on the core sectors page, and two sentences on the ESPR overview all pointed at the route. Leaving them would have created a fresh instance of the broken-link problem this repo already had with
/engine/licensing.One more sentence went with it: the core sectors page said obligations land "batteries, then textiles, then electronics" — an ESPR ordering claim asserting the same non-existent act.
