Information for auditors

From declarations of completeness to systems' volume flow records and sector-specific solutions, the Verpackungsgesetz (Packaging Act) requires that auditors and experts be involved at various stages to audit, confirm or certify the packaging volumes reported by companies (data reporting).

'Declaration of completeness' audit guidelines

Each declaration of completeness must be checked by an auditor registered with the ZSVR's register of auditors, who is required to comply with the audit guidelines.

Practical information on auditing declarations of completeness

Documentation and audits should focus more heavily on identifying any under-participating producers. This is where auditors find guidance that is based on practical experience, with important notes on how to use the audit guidelines.

'Sector-specific solution' audit guidelines

To ensure consistent and comparable sector-specific solution audits, experts acting as auditors are bound by guidelines.

'System volume flow record' audit guidelines

To ensure uniform system volume flow record auditing, experts acting as auditors are bound by guidelines.

Registering as an auditor

Are you an expert, auditor, tax adviser, registered sworn accountant or similar professional who would like to conduct audits under the Verpackungsgesetz? Then you need to register in the ZSVR's register of auditors. The ZSVR will confirm your registration with an official registration notice.

Please note: You will not be able to access all auditor functions in the Packaging Register until the ZSVR has completed your registration. You will be notified by e-mail once your registration has been fully approved.
