Explanation
Sales packaging for drills with a rated power output of 750 W or less, or with no listed power rating, is subject to system participation because it typically accumulates as waste with private households or comparable sources of waste generation (within the meaning of section 3 (7) VerpackDG). Comparable sources of waste generation include in particular 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').
Although sales packaging and grouped packaging for drills with a rated power output of 750 W or less, or with no listed power rating, also accumulate as waste in industrial or large commercial enterprise settings to some extent, this packaging is subject to system participation because, due to the products' rated power output, it matches the packaging accumulating as waste with private households or comparable sources of waste generation. Overall, the lion's share accumulates as waste with private households or comparable sources of waste generation.
Sales packaging and grouped packaging for drills with a rated power output exceeding 750 W typically accumulate as waste in industrial or large commercial enterprise settings and are not subject to system participation.
Specials
The delineation criterion 'No listed power rating' only applies if no information about the rated power can be found on the packaging, the appliance or in its user manual. Rated power is also referred to as rated voltage or output voltage. It is not the same as charging voltage.

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).

 		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.
