Dates the sources have not published yet
Iceland also has 2 entries that no primary source supports yet. They are shown as not yet published, with the reason, and they never appear as a date.
- Iceland: the registration detail is not yet published, reason: Not retrieved.
- Iceland: the producer organisation detail is not yet published, reason: Not retrieved.
Who sets and receives these dates
Iceland: the data names no registry for these dates. The sources quoted above are the places where the dates are published.
The data does not describe an organisation for this place. Dates are listed as the authority or programme states them.
The file that goes with the date
Iceland: the recipient has not yet published a file layout for these reports, so the data holds no layout to show. Instica does not fill the gap with a guess; the report-format page records what is still open. When the layout is published, Instica prepares the file in it from your measured and estimated quantities, and you upload it yourself.

Questions about Iceland EPR deadlines
When is the Iceland EPR report due?
The data lists no verified report date for Iceland. Other kinds of date are listed above with their sources; a report date appears here once a primary source states it.
Which period does a Iceland deadline cover?
The sources describe these periods: January and February of the same year; July and August of the same year; March and April of the same year; May and June of the same year; November and December of the previous year; September and October of the same year. A report is usually filed after the period it covers ends, so the date and the period are different things and both are shown.
Iceland has 6 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 6 that repeat on the same day every year. 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.
What each kind of date means
Payment
A payment date is the day by which fees or dues have to be paid for a programme year. Some programmes fix the day in the rules and others set it on each invoice, which is why a month-only entry can appear without a day. Instica estimates the fee from the published rate schedule; the invoice and the payment stay between you and the programme.
How dates, yearly rules and month-only rules read
A yearly rule gives a day and a month with no year, and it applies again every year. The page shows the rule as the source states it and the calendar feed repeats it each year. When a rule changes, the source changes first and this page follows on the next review.
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.
Preparing before the date
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Read the source quote under the date once more, because the programme can change a day or a period between reviews.
- Sign in to the official portal yourself, check the prepared file and submit it. Instica stores no portal credentials and files nothing for you.

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 Iceland 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.
