Definition of weight in the reporting of quantities placed on the market:

The weight is always stated in kilograms, as the weight of the entire product (finished article) in the form it is sold to the purchaser, including electronic accessories but excluding batteries and accumulators, packaging, instructions, and manuals.

The weight is stated as the exact weight in kilograms of products put on the market per category and per end-user.

With an amendment to the WEEE Order it was clarified that it is no longer allowed to use conversion factors and average weight; now the actual weight of the equipment should be stated. In this way data correctness for each individual company is improved.
