New attribute

Registration number Packaging register [M487] (for FMCG DE and DIY DE)

From 01.01.2019 onwards, manufacturers of packaging subject to the obligation to participate in the system are obliged under § 9 VerpackG to register such packaging with the central packaging register office before putting it into circulation. For this purpose, the central office provides an electronic data processing system on its website with LUCID.

After successful completion of the registration, the manufacturer receives a 15-digit registration number from the central office.

The new attribute Registration Number Packaging Register [M487] enables the supplier to communicate his registration number to the trade / data recipient.

Tip: If you have a temporary registration number (ending in -V), then enter only the actual 15-digit registration number and omit the ending (-V).
