One row is a primary document Instica fetched, with its retrieval date and content hash. The rows were read from 252 source documents between October 17, 2026 and November 5, 2026. No row in this file is pending: every row carries a value and the source it was read from. 252 rows are published records: they copy a series or a register entry from its publisher and carry no Instica review status. The value column holds the fetch status, the content hash of the stored text and, where known, the document size and publisher. Compare the hash with your own copy to see whether a document has changed since Instica read it. **Rows in the epr source register file by status** | Status | Rows | Meaning | | --- | ---: | --- | | `verified` | 0 | read from the primary source on retrieved_at | | `pending` | 0 | no value yet; see pending_reason | | `proposed` | 0 | a bill or draft, not law | | `published` | 252 | recorded from the publisher, no review status | ## Sample rows A spread across the file, plus one pending row when the file has one.

Each row is a primary document Instica fetched, with its retrieval date and content hash. ### Can I use this file commercially? Yes. It is published under CC BY 4.0. Credit Instica, name the bundle version, link to this page and say if you changed the data. ### Why does a row have no value? No row in this file is pending today. If a figure later becomes unavailable, it would appear with status pending and a reason. ## How to read these figures > **Estimate**: The figures on this page are estimates we prepare from the published sources listed below. Instica measures your packaging and prepares the numbers; you check them, sign and submit to the regulator or scheme yourself. We never submit for you and never store regulator-portal credentials. Every figure in the app carries a data-quality label: measured, supplier, estimated or declared. [How we measure and label figures](https://instica.com/epr/methodology). This page is information, not legal advice. > **Note**: Instica measures, estimates and prepares. These files record what regulators and programmes publish, with the quote and the link, as of the retrieval date on each row. They are not legal advice. The producer signs and submits their own report. Data last built November 5, 2026. ## Facts on this page Each fact is a self-contained sentence with its source.
