; DataTopic: Packaging Specification
; Purpose: Define the functional role of each component within a packaging assembly (BOM view) to enable consistent data exchange for PPWR/ EPR, DPP, and commercial listing.

== Overview ==
In IMDE, a ''Packaging Assembly'' is modeled as a set of components that together form the packaging part of a '''Sales Unit = Product + Packaging'''.
Each component is assigned a '''Packaging Class''' based on its functional role in the assembly. This taxonomy supports upstream–downstream data exchange (technical data → Declaration of Conformity) and EPR reporting (weights, materials, recyclability).

== Classes ==
{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Class !! Definition / Function !! Examples / Notes
|-
| '''Container''' || Main vessel that holds, stores, or transports the product. || Bottle, jar, can, tube, tray, pouch. May carry a '''Form Type''' attribute (Rigid, Semi-Rigid, Flexible).
|-
| '''Enclosure''' || Primary wrap or shell that fully covers or contains the product or multiple units. || Flow wrap, overwrap, shrink wrap, blister shell. Often Flexible or Semi-Rigid.
|-
| '''Closure''' || Seals, opens, or reseals a container’s opening. || Cap, lid, cork, stopper, foil seal. May integrate tamper evidence or dispensing.
|-
| '''Dispenser''' || Enables controlled release or dosing of product. || Pump, valve, spray nozzle, tap, trigger. Sometimes combined with Closure.
|-
| '''Applicator''' || Applies the product directly to a user or target surface. || Brush, roller, pad, sponge, nozzle tip.
|-
| '''Label''' || Distinct component attached to another surface to carry information, branding, or decoration. || '''Attachment Type''' (attribute): Glue-applied, Pressure-sensitive (self-adhesive), Shrink sleeve, In-mould label, Direct print* (*modeled as a process, not a discrete component, where applicable).
|-
| '''Informational Component''' || Separate informational item not affixed to a surface. || Leaflet, insert, instruction manual, warranty card; placed inside secondary/tertiary packaging.
|-
| '''Securing''' || Bundles, fastens, or unitizes items or components. || Strap, clip, band, ring, adhesive dot, stretch wrap.
|-
| '''Structural''' || Provides rigidity, spacing, or separation. || Divider, tray insert, partition, frame, corrugated separator.
|-
| '''Protective''' || Cushions, braces, or prevents impact/surface damage. || Pad, bubble wrap, corner protector, foam insert.
|-
| '''Ancillary''' || Supplementary convenience or utility function. || Handle, hanger, scoop, measuring cup, spout cover.

== Attributes ==
* '''Form Type''' (Container, Enclosure; sometimes Closure)
** Values: '''Rigid''', '''Semi-Rigid''', '''Flexible'''
** Rationale: Recyclability, collection, and sorting performance, and EPR fee modulation frequently depend on rigidity for polymer packaging.
* '''Attachment Type''' (Label)
** Values: '''Glue-applied''', '''Pressure-sensitive''', '''Shrink sleeve''', '''In-mould label''', '''Direct print''' (process)
* '''Material Class''' (link to material taxonomy)
** Values: Metal, Polymer, Paper and Board, Textile, Ceramic/Glass, Wood, Additives (as applicable)
* '''Role in Assembly'''
** Primary (e.g., Container, Closure), Secondary (e.g., Label, Informational), Tertiary (e.g., Structural, Securing)

== Assembly (BOM) Guidance ==
<pre>
Sales Unit
├─ Container (e.g., Rigid PET bottle)
│ ├─ Closure (PP cap)
│ └─ Label (Shrink sleeve, Attachment Type = Shrink sleeve)
├─ Informational Component (Leaflet)
└─ Structural (Corrugated divider)
</pre>

* '''Labels vs Informational Components:''' Labels are attached components with an Attachment Type; leaflets/inserts are separate items and remain Informational Components.
* '''Direct Print:''' If decoration is applied via direct print, model as a process attribute of the printed component rather than a separate Label component.
* '''Form Type Usage:''' Required for polymer Containers/Enclosures due to sorting/recyclability impacts; optional/implicit for glass/metal (typically rigid) and paper (often flexible/semi-rigid).

== Data Exchange Notes ==
* Upstream technical data per component (material, weight, recycled content, substances) is aggregated at the Sales Unit level to generate the '''Declaration of Conformity''' and to supply EPR reporting datasets.
* Clear class assignment ensures consistent mapping to PPWR requirements and PRO fee categories.
