Einzuhaltenden

Einzuhaltenden is a German attributive participial adjective derived from the verb einzuhalten, meaning to be observed or to comply with. It is used to describe something that must be followed or observed, such as rules, deadlines or standards, and is common in formal or normative contexts.

Grammatical notes: The base participle is einzuhaltend. When used before a noun, the form is declined according to standard German adjective endings. In front of a plural noun with a definite article, it takes the ending -en: die einzuhaltenden Regeln. With a singular noun or different determiner, other endings appear (eine einzuhaltende Regel, ein einzuhaltendes Gesetz). The form changes for case and gender just like other attributive adjectives, and it conveys obligation or requirement by indicating what must be observed.

Usage: Einzuhaltenden is typically found in legal, administrative, or organizational language to mark obligations that are binding or mandatory. In colloquial speech, speakers more often use simpler constructions such as Die Fristen müssen eingehalten werden.

Examples: Die einzuhaltenden Vorschriften der Veranstaltung wurden im Vertrag festgehalten. Die einzuhaltenden Fristen sind verbindlich. In solchen Sätzen signalisiert die Form, dass es sich um Normen handelt, die befolgt werden müssen, und nicht um optionale Hinweise.
