Regulatory books date. This page is where we say so.
When the law covered by one of our books changes materially, a dated change note is published here — stating what changed, and which chapters and templates it affects. The log is public and open to every reader, whether or not they bought the book from us.
This is a commitment to tell you what changed. It is not a commitment to revise the book, and it is not legal advice.
Change log
No change notices have been issued yet. This page was established alongside the first edition carrying the update commitment; notices will appear below, newest first, as and when a trigger is met.
Most months, nothing will be posted here. That is the intended state: a notice means an obligation moved, not that a commentator had an opinion.
| Date | Instrument | What changed, and what it affects |
|---|---|---|

Update policy
The commitment has three levels. Every book states the first. Books in the regulatory series carry all three.
1 · A currency statement
Every book states the date at which it sets out the law, and what falls outside that statement — typically delegated acts, implementing acts, harmonised standards and regulatory guidance adopted after that date.
2 · A change notice
Where the law covered by a book changes materially before the next edition, a dated note is published on this page naming what changed and which chapters and templates it affects.
3 · Updated templates
Where a change makes a template or decision rule in the book out of date, the affected file is reissued with a version line and a changelog entry.
Why the log is public rather than emailed. A commitment printed in a book should not sit behind a marketing list. You bought the book; the notice belongs to you without a further transaction. The log stays open, and subscribing is never a condition of receiving what the book promised.
If you would rather be told than check. Send an email to tiina@regulationdecoded.com with the word notify and the book or instrument you are following. Your address is used for change notices only — not for marketing — and you can ask to be removed at any time, in one line, with no reason given.
What counts as a material change
A notice is issued when one of these occurs:
- the text of the instrument is amended — an amending regulation, an omnibus, or a corrigendum in the Official Journal;
- a date of application moves;
- a delegated or implementing act changes an obligation or a deliverable described in the book;
- a template or decision rule in the book is made out of date by any of the above.
No notice is issued for: supervisory guidance and Q&As that do not change an obligation, news coverage, consultancy commentary, or corrections of typographical errors. Those may be interesting. They do not change what you have to do.
Rhythm. Monitoring runs monthly. Publication is event-driven, not scheduled.
How long the commitment runs
The commitment attaches to an edition and runs until a stated end date, printed in that book. It is not tied to the date you bought the book, and it is not described as lifetime — a promise that cannot be kept for twenty years should not be made for one.
An end date can be extended. It cannot be introduced after the fact, so each book carries its own from the day it is printed. Check the About This Edition page at the front of your copy for the date that applies to it.
| Edition | States the law as at | Change notices until |

| CRA, Decoded — first edition, 2026 | 6 August 2026 | 31 December 2028 |
Which books carry it
- The Decoded series (regulatory titles) — the full three-level commitment. The subject matter is a named legal instrument, so a change can be named, dated and pointed at a chapter.
- The AI-Powered line — the currency statement, and notices only where the underlying law or logic changes. These books deliberately commit to reasoning rather than to product names; tools move monthly and no honest promise can keep pace with them.
- Career and practice titles — no update commitment. They are not tied to an instrument, and the absence is not an omission.
What is monitored
Monitoring is organised by instrument rather than by book, which is why it can be sustained across a growing catalogue: several books can depend on the same instrument, and one check serves all of them.
Currently tracked: the Cyber Resilience Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/2847), NIS2 (Directive (EU) 2022/2555), DORA (Regulation (EU) 2022/2554), the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689), and the GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679), together with the delegated and implementing acts made under them. The list grows with the catalogue.
Limits
- Change notices are a service, not legal advice. Nothing on this page or in the books creates a lawyer–client relationship, and nothing here should be relied on as advice about your own situation.
- Completeness is not guaranteed. Reasonable monitoring is applied; a change may still be missed or reported late.
- The authoritative text of any EU instrument is the version published in the Official Journal. Where this page and the Official Journal differ, the Official Journal governs.
- We may change or discontinue this service, in which case notice will be published on this page. Any change applies to future editions; commitments already printed in a book are honoured to their stated end date.
Who gives this commitment
This commitment is given by Regulation Decoded, the publisher, and by the author of the book in question. It is independent of Amazon, Kindle Direct Publishing, and any other retailer or platform through which a copy was bought. Retailers neither administer nor guarantee it, and no purchase receipt is needed to use this page.
Privacy
This page collects nothing. There is no registration, no login, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking cookies. You can read the change log without identifying yourself in any way, which is the point of publishing it here rather than sending it.
Should a notification list be offered in future, it will be separate from this page and consent-based: a single purpose stated at sign-up, no bundling of the change service with marketing consent, one-click unsubscribe, and no sale or sharing of addresses. The controller for any such processing is Regulation Decoded, Hämeenlinna, Finland; data subject requests under Articles 15 to 21 GDPR can be made to the address below and are answered within one month.
