Which products are covered?

Raw materials, material consumption, and chemical ingredients are the focal point of producer responsibility legislation. For each product area a regulation decides whether your business is covered by the rules. The official authority assessment whether products are covered is called “Scoping”

Ins and outs

The rationale behind producer responsibility is the use and recovery of materials and substances in the production of electronics, batteries, and vehicles. Therefore, the starting point of any producer responsibility for producers or importers is your products.

Exemptions

Generally, all products in the product groups of electronics, batteries, and vehicles are subject to producer responsibility. However, a few exemptions exist in each producer responsibility area. Most exemptions are caused by the fact that the product is covered by similar legislation.

All exemptions are described under each product area and will be checked in our test.
