Module 3: What a Passport Has to Contain
Module 3: What a Passport Has to Contain
Overview
Modules 1 and 2 established what a passport is and whether your organisation carries a duty to produce one. Neither question tells you what actually has to go inside the record, and that is where a programme’s real cost lives. This module sorts passport content into categories, separates who is allowed to see each category, and turns “do we have this data” from an assumption into something you audit.
Estimated completion time: 35 minutes. Three lessons of 9 minutes each, plus a ten question assessment of about 8 minutes.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this lesson you should be able to:
- M3-O1Classify passport data into its categories rather than treating it as one undifferentiated list.
- M3-O2Distinguish public data from restricted-access data and say which audience sees which.
- M3-O3Recognise which attributes your organisation already holds, and in which system.
- M3-O4Identify attributes with no current owner and decide what to do about them.
Every objective is tested. Each assessment question is tagged to one of the four.

Canonical Reading
This module teaches from two canonical articles. The articles are the authoritative text and remain free and open to everyone:
- What Information Does a Digital Product Passport Contain?
- What Data Goes in a Digital Product Passport?
The lessons add sequence, framing, examples and practice. They do not restate the regulatory content, and they never introduce a date, article number or citation that is not in the source articles.
Frameworks Used
TBF-003, The Product Information Readiness Model. Introduced in Lesson 1. Groups passport content into six categories so an organisation can assess where each one originates, who owns it, and how ready it is to publish.
TBF-042, The Passport Data Origin Model. Introduced in Lesson 3. Separates whether an attribute exists anywhere in the extended organisation, whether it exists in a queryable structured form, and whether it has a named owner.

The Running Case Product
Every Foundations module uses one product so the examples accumulate rather than reset.
The Aurelia S2 cordless hedge trimmer. A mid-price consumer power tool with a removable lithium-ion battery pack, a moulded polymer housing, and a woven textile shoulder strap. It is manufactured under contract in Vietnam and imported into the EU by the brand owner’s Dutch entity. This module uses it to show what a passport content audit actually finds: three conflicting internal identifiers, composition data held by a contract manufacturer who has never been asked, roughly a third of attributes sitting in the product data system and a third as PDFs on a shared drive, and a completed QR pilot that resolves to nothing more than the marketing page.
Completion
The module is complete when all three lessons are marked complete and the assessment is passed at the Foundations pass mark of 80 percent. Retakes are unlimited and your best score is kept. Progress is saved on this device.
Next Step
After the assessment, Module 4: How a Passport Works in Practice moves from what the record must contain to how it is actually delivered and kept current once it exists.
