The regulation establishes several key points:

1. The obligation of the Producer to make an annual declaration concerning WEEE.
2. Detailed obligations for the Producer regarding electronic device waste and its disposal.
3. Guidance for implementing a management system for electrical and electronic device waste (whether collective or individual) and the requirements for MINAM approval.
4. The procedure to migrate from one waste management system to another.
5. The procedure for the cessation of Producer activities and its relation to the waste produced by devices.
6. The obligation to present a management plan for the waste of electrical and electronic devices along with its minimum requirements.
