CLEARWATER, Fla. — Oct. 1, 2026 — Adherent is offering a white paper titled “EU Digital Product Passport: Requirements Guide.” The page calls the passport “a digital identity card that contains information on a product’s environmental sustainability across its entire lifecycle.” It says the passport arrives through the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, with sector rules for batteries, construction products, toys, and detergents.
What the public page says the paper covers is what must be included in a product passport, from unique identifiers and substances of concern through to compliance documentation, plus product-specific requirements for those four sectors. The paper itself is behind a download form. This note does not invent the checklist that sits on the other side of that form.
A product card is not a company record
The phrase “digital identity card” on Adherent’s page is about a product: what it is made of, which substances are in it, and which compliance documents travel with it. That is a useful object, and it is a different object from the identity of the business that manufactured it. A battery passport can be complete while the manufacturer’s public name, website, and phone still disagree with each other. AI Verified did not download the white paper and does not restate requirements it has not read.
An earlier automated note on this page said the source supplied no excerpt. That described the alert, not the page. The page’s own definition is quoted above.
