# Germany EPR deadline Last verified: November 4, 2026 · https://instica.com/epr/germany/deadlines Germany has 3 verified packaging EPR deadlines in the Instica data, reviewed on November 4, 2026, the first falling May 15, 2027. The kinds of date are report deadline. Each carries the period it covers and a quoted source, and you sign and submit every filing yourself. Germany has 3 verified deadlines in the Instica data. Verified means that the date or rule was read from a primary source on the retrieval date shown beside it, with the quote kept in the language of the source. A date that no primary source states is not shown as a date at all: it appears further down as not yet published, with the reason. By shape, the entries are 3 with a fixed calendar date. The table lists them in date order, then by kind. The sections after it take each date in turn, then explain what the kinds of date ask of a producer, how to read a yearly rule or a month-only rule, and what to prepare before the day arrives. ## Germany EPR deadlines at a glance **Germany: verified deadlines, with kind, period and source** | Date or rule | Kind | Period covered | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [December 31, 2026](#planned-volume-report-date) | [Report](#planned-volume-report-kind) | [2027](#planned-volume-report-period) | [verpackungsregister.org](https://www.verpackungsregister.org/en/system-participation-data-reporting/data-reporting) | | [May 15, 2027](#declaration-of-completeness-date) | [Report](#declaration-of-completeness-kind) | [2026](#declaration-of-completeness-period) | [verpackungsregister.org](https://www.verpackungsregister.org/en/system-participation-data-reporting/declaration-of-completeness) | | [June 1, 2027](#year-end-volume-report-date) | [Report](#year-end-volume-report-kind) | [2026](#year-end-volume-report-period) | [verpackungsregister.org](https://www.verpackungsregister.org/en/system-participation-data-reporting/data-reporting) | ## Each verified date and what it asks of you #### Report: December 31, 2026 [The report deadline is December 31, 2026.

A yearly rule is placed on its day in 2027; a fixed date is used as the source gives it. The weekday, the day of the year, the ISO week and the quarter are worked out from that date, and the distance to the review of November 4, 2026 is counted in days. The first entry falls on May 15, 2027 and the last on June 1, 2027. Report: Saturday, May 15, 2027. This is day 135 of the year, in ISO week 19 and quarter 2. It lies 192 days after the review date, and it is the first entry of the year. Report: Tuesday, June 1, 2027. This is day 152 of the year, in ISO week 22 and quarter 2. It lies 209 days after the review date, and 17 days after the previous entry (report deadline). Across 2027 the 2 dated entries for Germany spread over 17 days, from the first to the last. By quarter the count is Q1 0, Q2 2, Q3 0, Q4 0. The longest wait between two entries is 17 days, from May 15, 2027 to June 1, 2027. 1 of the 2 dates falls on a Saturday or Sunday. The sources do not say here what happens when a due day is not a working day, so read the source before you plan around it. By kind, the 2027 entries for Germany are Report 2. By weekday they are Saturday 1, Tuesday 1. Counted from the review on November 4, 2026, the first entry falls 192 days after it and the last 209 days after it. ## Germany next to the other places in Europe Germany is one of 30 places in Europe with a verified deadline in the Instica data. With 3 verified deadlines it ranks 10 of 30 by the number of entries (rank 1 has the most). By the first dated entry in 2027, May 15, 2027, it ranks 8 of 18. In Europe the earliest first date in 2027 belongs to Norway (January 22, 2027) and the latest to Slovakia (June 1, 2027). Closest in time to the first date of Germany, measured against the other places in Europe: Italy (June 1, 2027, 17 days later); Lithuania (June 1, 2027, 17 days later); Luxembourg (June 1, 2027, 17 days later). Neighbours on the map that have a dated entry in 2027, compared with the first date of Germany: Switzerland (February 28, 2027, 76 days earlier); Luxembourg (June 1, 2027, 17 days later); Netherlands (June 1, 2027, 17 days later); Poland (March 15, 2027, 61 days earlier). Across all 48 places with a verified deadline in the Instica data, whatever the region, 3 entries for Germany sits against a median of 3 per place, and 12 places have fewer. The first dated entry of Germany in 2027, May 15, 2027, ranks 17 of 32 places with a dated entry; the earliest anywhere is California (January 1, 2027) and the latest is Slovakia (June 1, 2027). ## Germany: each kind of date against Europe Each kind of date that Germany has in 2027 is set below against the other places in Europe that have a dated entry of the same kind. The rank counts places with an earlier date, so rank 1 is the earliest. Report: Germany has May 15, 2027. Of the 17 places in Europe with a dated report deadline in 2027, it ranks 6. The earliest is Norway (January 22, 2027) and the latest is Slovakia (June 1, 2027). ## Germany: the 2027 dates month by month Month by month, the dated entries for Germany in 2027 fall as follows. No entry falls in January, February, March, April, July, August, September, October, November, December. May: Report on Saturday the 15th. June: Report on Tuesday the 1st. ## What each kind of date means #### Report A report deadline is the date by which the packaging quantities for a stated period have to reach the receiving office or programme. The period covered is shown with the date, because the same report can be due a few months after the period ends. Instica measures and estimates the weights, prepares the file in the layout of the recipient and shows you the numbers; you sign and submit it in the official portal. ## How dates, yearly rules and month-only rules read A fixed date is shown as the source gives it, formatted for your language. It is a calendar day, not a time of day, and it applies in the local time of the office that receives the filing. Where a fixed date is the first of a yearly series, the entry says so. Dates in this data can be revised by the programme or the authority. Each entry shows the day it was retrieved, so you can see how old it is, and a newer source always wins over this page. ## Dates the sources have not published yet Germany: the data lists no entry that is still pending. Every deadline above is verified. ## Who sets and receives these dates Germany: Registration runs through [LUCID Packaging Register (ZSVR)](#registry); the party that registers is described as [The producer, or for a foreign seller without a German branch, its authorised representative](#who-registers). The dates above are the ones that registry and its programme publish, so they are the ones your filings are measured against. Producers meet the duty through [one of several producer responsibility organisations](#organisation-model); membership of an organisation is not required. Programmes can publish their own dates, such as invoice days, next to the dates of the authority, and both kinds of date are listed when a source states them. ## The file that goes with the date Each report date goes with a file. For Germany the data describes [“LUCID producer volume report (XML upload, section 10 VerpackG)”](#format-name), addressed to [“Stiftung Zentrale Stelle Verpackungsregister (ZSVR), LUCID packaging register”](#format-recipient). It is received through [“LUCID XML upload. The customer signs in, uploads the file, checks the displayed data and confirms.”](#format-channel), it is reported by [the calendar year](#format-period), and the weights are kept in [kilograms](#format-unit). The working file is [XML](#format-file). The layout comes from a published specification. Instica prepares the file in that layout from your measured and estimated quantities, and you upload it yourself. - **the text encoding**: [utf-8-sig](#format-encoding) - **the field delimiter**: [not yet published](#format-delimiter) - **the number of columns**: [8](#format-columns) - **the rounding rule**: [3 decimal places, half up](#format-rounding) - **the status of the layout source**: [published by the recipient](#format-spec) [Open the Germany report-format page](https://instica.com/epr/germany/report-format) ## Preparing before the date 1. Count the packaging you place on the market in the period the date covers. Weigh a sample of each pack, record the material of each part and note where each weight comes from: measured, supplied by your supplier, estimated or declared. 2. Group the weights the way the recipient groups them. The report-format page for this place lists the columns, the units and the rounding the file expects. 3. Estimate the fee from the published rate schedule, if the programme charges by weight or material, and keep the working so you can explain every figure. 4. Read the source quote under the date once more, because the programme can change a day or a period between reviews. 5. Sign in to the official portal yourself, check the prepared file and submit it. Instica stores no portal credentials and files nothing for you. ## Add these dates to your calendar 3 of the 3 verified dates for Germany have a day in the source and are in the calendar feed. Subscribe once and your calendar adds new dates after each review. Every event carries the source address of the date, so you can open the page the date comes from.

The data lists these report dates for Germany: December 31, 2026; May 15, 2027; June 1, 2027. Read the period each one covers in the table above, and open the source to confirm the day before you file. ### Which period does a Germany deadline cover? The sources describe these periods: 2027; 2026. A report is usually filed after the period it covers ends, so the date and the period are different things and both are shown. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does Instica submit the report for me? No. Instica measures, estimates and prepares the figures and the file. You sign in to the official portal, check the file and submit it yourself, and Instica never stores your portal credentials. ### How do I add the Germany dates to my calendar? Use the calendar block on this page: download the file or subscribe with the feed address. Each event has the day, the kind of date and the address of the source. Dates that the source gives only as a month or in words are not in the feed. ### What if a source changes a date after this review? The source wins. Every entry shows the day it was retrieved. Check the source address before you act, and use the next review of this page for the change. ## How to read this page > **Estimate**: Instica measures, estimates and prepares. Every date and layout on this page comes from the source named beside it and is shown as published on the retrieval date; it can change, so check the source before you act. You sign and submit each report yourself in the regulator or programme portal. Instica stores no portal credentials and files nothing for you.
