Explanation
Retail packaging and shipment packaging for floor-standing printers and floor-standing multifunction printers are not subject to system participation because they typically accumulate as waste with 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. (This packaging also accumulates in retail settings.)

Although packaging for floor-standing printers and floor-standing multifunction printers also accumulates as waste with comparable sources of waste generation (within the meaning of section 3 (11) VerpackG) to some extent, the lion's share of the packaging remains with retailers or is unpacked and taken away again by service providers upon delivery or set-up.
Specials
Palettes are often used as primary packaging for this product. They do not typically accumulate as waste with private final consumers – i.e. private households and comparable sources of waste generation and are not subject to system participation. Floor-standing printers and floor-standing multifunction printers are classified as such if they are set up on the floor and if users have to operate the device in a standing position. Should these characteristics not apply, the device is classified as an office or home printer.

 		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.
