Don't ignore the built-in battery

The analysis must cover batteries sold separately and those incorporated into equipment. Register technology, category, weight and sales model.

Drums and equipment are related flows, but they are not the same record.

Basic obligations

The APA indicates financing for waste management, producer registration in SILiAmb and marking obligations, according to the framework.

The producer can use an individual system or transfer responsibility to a licensed integrated system.

Call catalog and declaration

The database must make it possible to reconcile batteries placed on the Portuguese market with the declarations and the chosen system.

Save weight and rating sources, especially for built-in batteries.

Conclusion

Framing comes before form. Always link the entity, product, channel, and stream to the applicable official source.

The evidence must be traceable. Store versions, dates, approvals, submissions and documents issued by each external entity.

Third party decisions are not guaranteed. APA, management systems and platforms control their own procedures and results.
