Who sets and receives these dates
Norway: Registration runs through Membership of an approved PRO (PRO reports to Miljødirektoratet); the party that registers is described as Producers join a PRO. 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; the organisations named in the data are Grønt Punkt Norge AS, other approved PROs (see Miljødirektoratet list); membership of the organisation is 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
Norway: 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 Norway EPR deadlines
When is the Norway EPR report due?
The data lists these report dates for Norway: Every year on January 22; Every year on March 22. 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 Norway deadline cover?
The sources describe these periods: previous calendar year; January and February 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.
Norway has 2 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 2 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
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 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.
Dates the sources have not published yet
Norway: the data lists no entry that is still pending. Every deadline above is verified.
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.
