Explanation
Retail packaging for welding equipment and soldering equipment of all kinds is not subject to system participation because it typically accumulates as waste in industrial or large commercial enterprise settings. This includes in particular building trade businesses, metal-working trade businesses, automotive mechanics businesses and other craft enterprises whose packaging waste cannot be collected at the rate that is normally associated with private households in waste bins that do not exceed 1,100 litres.

Shipment packaging for welding and soldering equipment of all kinds typically accumulates as waste with private final consumers – i.e. private households and comparable sources of waste generation and is subject to system participation.
Specials
Use of the system participation requirement catalogue requires that the item in question be packaging within the meaning of section 3 (1) VerpackG in conjunction with appendix 1 VerpackG.

 		Delineation criterion
Delineation criterion

Criterion that relates to a specific product and determines whether the shipment, retail or grouped packaging in question is subject to system participation.

For food packaging, that delineation criterion often is quantity. For packaging filled with other products, the delineation criterion tends to be the number/volume or unit of the individual products contained in the packaging. Depending on the product, other criteria may be used within the scope of an overall market assessment to delineate or determine whether the system participation requirement applies to a packaging, such as the stress class in the case of laminate products.
