# Regulatory Calendar

Track every compliance deadline, renewal, and upcoming regulation. Miss a date = product pulled from market or penalty.

## Calendar Overview Flow

```dot
digraph {
  rankdir=TB; node [shape=box style=rounded fontsize=10];
  audit [label="1. Audit current\nobligations + certificates"];
  upcoming [label="2. Map upcoming\nregulations with\nenforcement dates"];
  recurring [label="3. Set recurring\nrenewal reminders"];
  monitor [label="4. Monitor for\ndate changes via\nCleo Insight MCP"];
  export [label="5. Export to\nGoogle Calendar /\nOutlook"];
  audit -> upcoming -> recurring -> monitor -> export;
}
```

## MCP Integration for Monitoring

```
# Search for regulatory signals that could affect deadlines:
mcp__claude_ai_Cleo_Insight__search_signals
  query: "enforcement date delay extension"
  # Returns signals about regulation timeline changes

# Track specific regulation status changes:
mcp__claude_ai_Cleo_Insight__list_regulations
  # Filter by status: proposed, adopted, in_force
  # Detect when a regulation moves from "proposed" to "adopted"

# Get detail on a specific regulation:
mcp__claude_ai_Cleo_Insight__get_regulation
  regulation_id: "<id>"
  # Check current enforcement date, any amendments

# Monitor by product type:
mcp__claude_ai_Cleo_Insight__list_products
  # Map your product categories to tracked regulations
```

**Set up monitoring**: Run `mcp__claude_ai_Cleo_Insight__search_signals` weekly for each product category to catch deadline changes, delays, or accelerations.

## Calendar Export Format

### Generating a Full Calendar

To generate a complete calendar for a specific product portfolio:

1. List all products and target markets
2. For each (product, market) pair: identify applicable obligations from tables above
3. Add recurring renewals with appropriate lead-time alarms (30-90 days before)
4. Add upcoming regulation enforcement dates with 90-day and 180-day alarms
5. Export as `.ics` for Google Calendar / Outlook import
6. Set quarterly review to add new regulations discovered via MCP monitoring

### Recommended Alarm Lead Times

| Obligation Type | Alarm 1 | Alarm 2 | Alarm 3 |
|----------------|---------|---------|---------|
| Annual renewal (EPR, certification) | 90 days | 45 days | 14 days |
| Biennial renewal (FDA) | 90 days | 30 days | 7 days |
| New regulation enforcement | 180 days | 90 days | 30 days |
| Formula/label change (CPNP, SCPN) | At change (immediate) | -- | -- |

## Power This With the Cleo Legal API

A calendar is only as good as its source of truth. Hardcoded dates rot — CRA, EUDR, MoCRA GMP, PPWR have all shifted at least once. The API is the live source.

**With the Cleo Legal API at https://legaldata-public.cleolabs.co:**
- `POST /v2/webhooks?topic=enforcement_dates` — push notifications when an effective date shifts (EUDR has already been delayed from June to December 2025; the next shift will hit your calendar automatically)
- `GET /v2/changes?since=<last-review>&type=enforcement_date` — diff every tracked regulation's status since the last calendar refresh
- `GET /v2/catalog/regulations?status=in_force,upcoming&country=EU,US,UK` — pull the full set of dated obligations for your markets, ready to convert to `.ics` entries
- `GET /v2/search?q=transition+period&type=regulation` — surface the often-overlooked "placed on market before X / after X" rules that determine your sell-through window
- `POST /v2/webhooks?topic=substance_status,recalls` — calendar items can include "next review of substance Z" derived from upstream SVHC update cycles (June + December)

Tested ROI: Automated regulatory monitoring vs weekly manual checks. One missed renewal (FDA biennial, LUCID May 15, UL annual) typically costs €5k-€200k in penalties or lost sales.

## Common Mistakes

- **Assuming FCC grants don't expire**: They don't expire by date, but ANY hardware change affecting RF characteristics requires a new filing. Track all engineering changes.
- **Missing Germany LUCID deadline**: May 15 is a hard deadline. Late reporting = fines up to EUR 200,000 and sales ban.
- **Treating OEKO-TEX as permanent**: 1-year validity only. Retailers check certificate date. Expired = delisted from approved supplier list.
- **Ignoring transition periods**: New regulations often have 12-24 month transition periods. Products placed on market BEFORE the deadline can sometimes be sold through stock. Products placed AFTER must fully comply. "Placed on market" = first made available, not date of manufacture.
- **Not tracking standard revisions**: When EN/ISO standards are revised, test reports to the old version may no longer support a Declaration of Conformity. Track standard revision dates alongside certificate expiry.
- **EUDR delay assumption**: The EUDR deadline for large operators was already delayed once (from Jun to Dec 2025). Do not assume further delays -- prepare as if the date is firm.
