Explanation
Retail packaging and grouped packaging for safes with a security standard grade of II or less pursuant to EN 1134-1 and EN 14450 are subject to system participation because they typically accumulate as waste with private final consumers – i.e. private households and comparable sources of waste generation (within the meaning of section 3 (11) VerpackG) such as accommodation establishments, administrations, banks, insurance companies and administrative sections of companies, especially in trade and manufacturing. Comparable sources of waste generation also include craft enterprises and installers whose packaging waste can be collected at the rate that is normally associated with private households in waste bins that do not exceed 1,100 litres ('volume criterion').
Retail packaging and grouped packaging for safes with a security standard grade above II pursuant to EN 1134-1 and EN 14450 are not subject to system participation because they typically accumulate as waste in large commercial enterprise settings (also in retail settings), including, for example, installation service providers to safe manufacturers. Large commercial enterprises also include craft enterprises and installers that exceed the volume criterion.
Shipment packaging for safes of all kinds typically accumulates as waste with private final consumers – i.e. private households and comparable sources of waste generation and, as such, is subject to system participation.
Specials
The delineation criterion for safes is the security standard grade pursuant to EN 1143-1 and EN 14450, which have provisions relating to aspects like burglary and fire protection. ≤ grade II spans security standard grades 0, I, II pursuant to EN 1143-1 and security standard grades S1 and S2 pursuant to EN 14450.

 		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.
