Low-level EU Regulations like this take approximately 3 years to be drafted and adopted (validated).

A whole decade is often needed if the member states consider a new mandate is needed, typically a directive or regulation or treaty clause giving the EC authority and a framework to regulate something.

Any update to this regulation will have to wait at least 3 years after a new standard has been agreed on. And there will probably be a period for adoption by the industry, typically 2 years. So at least 5 years after everyone has agreed what is needed. It most probably won't be updated for the next 25 years.
