This tool is an applicability estimator, not legal advice. The verdicts are derived deterministically from the Blue Guide 2022 + Regulation (EU) 765/2008 + Decision 768/2008/EC reading of each act's scope. The dataset is refreshed quarterly; older than 120 days it stops producing verdicts. Consult a notified body or qualified counsel before placing a product on the EU market.
