Our experts are there to help you to understand whether your business falls within the scope of the MiCAR and assist you in getting compliant on time.

We created a tracker with expected and available EU level 2 and 3 measures under MiCAR.
- Level 2 measures further specify certain MiCAR aspects and take form of a Regulatory Technical Standard (RTS) or an Implementing Technical Standard (ITS).
- Level 3 measures are guidelines and Q&As of the European authorities to achieve consistent interpretation in Member States.
The tracker was last updated on 2 October 2024 and will undergo regular updates.
