In force since .
A signatures and records rule binding public and private bodies.
What it requires
- An electronic ledger you keep or rely on cannot be denied legal effect or admissibility as evidence in legal proceedings solely because it is in electronic form or because it is not a qualified electronic ledger (Art. 45k(1)).
- The presumption that a ledger's data records are in their unique and accurate sequential chronological order and are intact covers only data records in a qualified electronic ledger, and a qualified electronic ledger is one created and managed by one or more qualified trust service providers (Art. 45k(2); Art. 45l(1)(a)).

What this law does
Article 45k(1) of Regulation (EU) No 910/2014, as inserted by Regulation (EU) 2024/1183, provides that an electronic ledger shall not be denied legal effect or admissibility as evidence in legal proceedings solely on the grounds that it is in an electronic form or that it does not meet the requirements for qualified electronic ledgers.
Under Article 45k(2), data records contained in a qualified electronic ledger enjoy the presumption of their unique and accurate sequential chronological ordering and of their integrity. Article 45l(1), point (a), provides that a qualified electronic ledger is created and managed by one or more qualified trust service providers.
Article 45l(1), points (b) to (d), further provide that a qualified electronic ledger establishes the origin of data records in the ledger, ensures their unique sequential chronological ordering, and records data in such a way that any subsequent change to the data is immediately detectable. Regulation (EU) 2024/1183 enters into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
