Explanation

Retail packaging and shipment packaging for laminate with a stress class of 32 or less pursuant to DIN EN ISO 10874 are subject to system participation because they typically accumulate as waste with private final consumers – i.e. private households (DIY) and comparable sources of waste generation (within the meaning of section 3 (11) VerpackG). Comparable sources of waste generation include craft enterprises, especially flooring fitters and other building trade businesses 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, grouped packaging and shipment packaging for laminate with a stress class of 33 or higher pursuant to DIN EN ISO 10874 are not subject to system participation because they typically accumulate as waste in large commercial enterprise settings (also in retail settings). This includes in particular craft enterprises that exceed the volume criterion.

Specials

DIN EN ISO 10874 defines intensity of use classifications for resilient, textile and laminate flooring. Laminate flooring with stress classes 21, 22, 22+, 23, 31, 32 are used in private or public and commercial applications with normal or moderate intensity of use. Laminate flooring with stress classes of > 32, in particular 33, 34, 41, 42, 43, are used in or public and commercial applications with high or very high intensity of use and in light industrial settings. Floors without any listed stress class are to be handled as having a classification of ≤ 32. The highest stress class listed is always the relevant classification.

Packaging material Packaging material× Abbreviations: PPC stands for paper, paperboard or cardboard. PET stands for polyethylene terephthalate (a type of plastic). PE stands for polyethylene (a type of plastic). Composite packaging is packaging made from at least two material types that cannot be separated by hand.	Shape/form Shape/form× This section shows the typical packaging types for the product group under consideration. IBC is the abbreviation for intermediate bulk container. An IBC is a large, cuboid container for liquid and free-flowing materials. An octabin is an octagonal container used to transport and store bulk materials.	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.
