Product passports, without the noise

Adopted passport regimes include batteries from 18 February 2027, detergents from 23 September 2029, toys from 1 August 2030 and construction products under Regulation (EU) 2024/3110, where a delegated act is still needed. Textiles, tyres, iron and steel, aluminium and furniture are still in development, with no adopted passport requirement. Everything here says which is which.
