• Marking – marking of equipment with a crossed-out wheeled bin.
• Registration – registration in the national producer register in DPA with information, among others, on product categories.
• Reporting – annual reporting of quantities of equipment placed on the market and collected and environmentally treated end-of-life products.

Electrical equipment, batteries, vehicles

The most important purpose of the producer responsibility legislation is motivated by the materials and substances contained in this type of products. Therefore, the general principle is that all businesses producing or importing products in these product groups are covered by the duty to register and report in Denmark.

Financing of municipal collection

Businesses subject to producer responsibility, including importers, must finance the municipal collection of portable batteries through a payment to the Danish Tax and Customs Administration; this is laid down in the Battery Order. The municipal collection service covers the tasks of planning, establishment, operation, and administration of waste systems as well as collection of portable batteries.

Funds are distributed by the State between the municipalities according to the DUT principle.

DUT principle means Extended Total Balance Principle

DUT ensures that municipalities receive the necessary funds when the Folketing (Danish Parliament) changes rules that entail tasks and thereby costs for the municipalities. The national block grant is adjusted with DUT corresponding to the financial implications for the municipalities.

If you cannot search out your registration in the public part of the register or see  your registration certificate, you have forgotten something.

Most often, one or both below items are missing:

1. Selection of product category/-ies
2. Digital signature of “Confirmation”

Therefore, log in once more with MitID Erhverv and go to menu item “Categories and quantities”. Select the categories corresponding to your products and end-users, (for batteries it’s substance groups) and click SAVE.

Then proceed to the menu item “Confirmation” and sign it digitally with the business’s MitID Erhverv or touch through Penneo.

When this has been done, the menu item “Confirmation” changes to “Registration certificate”, and your registration is officially approved.
