Recitals 1 and 2, Articles 1 and 2 and Annex. CELEX 32026D1736. In force. Primary decision directly verified to 20 September 2026. The implementing decision directly establishes the six cited references. The completed 20 September 2026 audit verified the primary decision and did not locate a later OJ citation decision adding EN 18239 or EN 18246, and neither did a recheck on 7 October 2026."

Its two passport articles are the outer limit of what any of these standards can do for a business, and they bind only through a product-specific act. Annex III, which the framework cross-refers to for identifier and carrier standards, was not readable and nothing here rests on it."

Read for the required behaviours and read as an absence for what it does not contain. What changed between the recent releases is not established, because the served pages truncate before the change logs. The same reference site carries the vocabulary release noted on this page; the vocabulary itself is not read."
