guarantee amount per Year
You must submit proof of guarantee annually (§ 7 paragraph 1 clause 1 ). The guarantee amount is the amount of money that will presumably be required per year for each b2c type of equipment, to be able to guarantee the disposal of the waste equipment can be financed should the guarantee case occur. As producer/authorised representative you provide a surety covering this amount with the proof of guarantee, which the stiftung ear may only access if the guarantee case arises.
You calculate the guarantee amount (if you choose financing by cost-sharing) for each type of equipment and GGZ according to the formula
Amount of equipment in tonnes (for each type of equipment) x presumed return rate in % x presumed disposal costs in €/tonne
The amount of equipment is the amount of electrical and electronic equipment that a producer places on the market in the respective year. The presumed return rate and the presumed disposal costs are bindingly determined in the ear rule ‘Data on determining the guarantee amount’.
As you do not know which amount of electrical and electronic equipment you place on the market when you apply for registration, please make a realistic forecast.

Total guarantee amount
A producer-individual guarantee - e.g. a suretyship - should cover several years and all your types of equipment (total guarantee amount). Therefore, it is recommended you assess this total guarantee amount sufficiently high.
You calculate the total guarantee amount as follows:
Guarantee amount in tonnes (for each type of equipment) x presumed return rate in % x presumed medium disposal costs in €/tonnes x presumed medium life expectancy in years.
You can find the current guarantee parameters, as well as earlier versions here.
Then you add up the amounts for all of your types of equipment.
