What information is needed for WEEE Blackbox submission and what is its purpose?

All Battery producers must submit the following details:

• Monthly Turnover: input of any Batteries and/or Accumulators placed on the Irish market. The data required is per weight and chemistry of Batteries and/or Accumulators per category and subcategory put onto the State Market

Information is submitted on a monthly basis, beginning 19^th February 2009, to collect the period September 26^th 2008 up to and including December 31^st 2008, and each calendar month thereafter.

This monthly information will be submitted through a specifically designed website managed by the WEEE Blackbox. Webaddress: https://www.weeeblackbox.ie. All producers will on completing the registration process receive a username and password by email and/or post to access a personal data input form. All monthly data must be submitted before or on the 19^th of each month. A highly secure approach to computer and network security is employed.

The purpose of the data input is to determine the financial liability by market share of individual Producers.
