Reconcile the weight behind a return against the system it came from — one file per brand per jurisdiction, each register on its own clock — and leave certification to a named person.
A brand enters a market, and that register sets its own device categories, volume basis, fee and deadline.
02
A brand registers per device category in Germany under ElektroG § 6(1), before it goes on the market.
Reason
03
A registration number is stated when EEE is offered and on invoices, under ElektroG § 6(3).
04
A marketplace refuses an unregistered producer under § 6(2), from 1 July 2023, not 1 January 2023.
05
A take-back duty widens under ElektroG4, in force 28 November 2025, and monthly reporting turns annual.
Decide
06
A French identifiant unique is issued per filière and stated in the conditions générales de vente.
07
A Minnesota registration names the person responsible for compliance, and it is due by August 15.
Out
08
A return is built on weight, and no figure is computed without naming its system and its as-at date.
09
Execute write actions only inside the approval boundaries agreed during implementation.
→Product statement
The agent reconciles the weight and keeps the register file; a named person certifies the return, signs it and files it, and the producer answers for it.
Example workflow
One return, weight to signature
AgentHuman
1Reporting period closesSales system, logistics records, the register entry or a PRO schedule
2Weight assembledPlaced-on-market weight by brand and device category, each with the system and as-at date behind it

4Controls appliedDeadline checks, weight-reconciliation checks, register-coverage checks and completeness confidence
No human action required
Stages 1 to 4 run unaided, and nothing is certified or filed at any of them — the agent is reconciling, and the stewardship lane opens at the completeness gate.

Anything unreconciled
Adds a regulatory counsel read first.

The return is held with its deadlines, its weight sources and its gaps.

No French durability index has covered smartphones since the arrêté of 26 June 2025, and the file records the gap.

01Approved path
Every register counts differently
California takes a certification under penalty of perjury by 1 July, 14 CCR 18660.41; Directive 2012/19/EU asks for no named individual at all.

Where the brand list has to reach
Oregon has registered producers before 1 January since 2026, and it asks for current and former brands, certified by an authorized representative.

Evidence-linked improvement
What an unreconstructable return costs
A cycle finishes when the missed brand registration is a standing case. That suite is what the next return assembled is measured against.
Improvement cycle · five stagesSwitchback — the path turns at Improve and returns at Learn
01Detect
Counsel-correction rate rises in one jurisdiction.
02Diagnose
The tonnage the sales system and the register each reported differently is read back until one cause remains.
03Improve
Each change ships numbered, and the jurisdictions behind it are filed with it.
04Verify
While one touched jurisdiction case is red the release waits.
05Learn
The case stays on permanently, and the weight rules are amended beside it.
Learn → DetectThe return edge. The next return is measured against a suite one case longer.

Build a producer-registration agent around the person who signs the return.
Show us how a return reaches you today and who certifies it on 15 August. Not one register with many forms. A separate register in each Member State and each state, each on its own calendar, and a named person signing a weight your systems have to agree on.
