🧩 Who is covered (who is the “producer”)

You are typically considered the producer if you are the legal entity/sole trader that first places batteries/accumulators on the market in Slovenia (including imports), and you must be entered in the relevant register.

🔋 Battery categories commonly used in Slovenia

Slovenia’s reporting/service guidance references the main battery categories:

• 🔹 Portable
• 🚗 Automotive
• 🏭 Industrial

🗃️ Registration: entry in the MOPE producer register (evidenca)

What you must do

To be entered in the register, you submit an application to MOPE, which reviews the application and issues confirmation after formal/content checks.

Where and how to submit

Applications can be submitted electronically to gp.mope@gov.si (and alternative submission methods are also described on the SPOT page).

Fees and change management

• The SPOT guidance shows an administrative fee (listed as €9.00) for the entry procedure.
• If key details change, you must notify MOPE within 30 days (as described in SPOT guidance).

♻️ Take-back setup: collective plan vs individual compliance

Many producers comply through a collective plan (“skupni načrt”), where a plan holder coordinates collection and treatment obligations on behalf of participating producers.

Slovenia’s official datasets describe individual plans vs collective plans in the context of waste automotive batteries.

Under the batteries regulation framework, collective-plan documentation commonly includes lists of participating producers and confirmations from operators involved in collection/treatment (depending on plan type).

📊 Reporting: OBA_nacrt annual report (deadline 31 March)

Who reports and when

The annual report (OBA_nacrt) is submitted by collective-plan holders and by those fulfilling obligations independently, by 31 March for the previous year.

How to submit

The government service guidance states the report is sent as an email attachment to gp.arso@gov.si.

Practical reporting inputs you should control

To keep reporting accurate and consistent year-to-year, most organisations need a repeatable method for:

• Product-to-battery mapping (especially embedded batteries)
• Category assignment (portable/automotive/industrial)
• Measurement and conversion logic (e.g., pieces → kg, where required)
• Evidence linking declared totals to source records (sales, import docs, BOMs, distributor statements)

🧷 Traceability: keeping an audit-ready evidence trail

Even when operational obligations are handled via a plan, you should maintain clear proof of:

• 🗂️ Registration confirmation and any change notifications
• 🤝 Plan/contract documentation (where applicable)
• 🧾 Reporting submission record and approved figures
• 🔍 Reconciliations (finance vs sales vs product master vs declared totals)
• 🕒 Change log (product launches, BOM/category changes, scheme switches)

These controls become more valuable as EU batteries requirements expand across the supply chain and compliance documentation.
