Deloitte Letter of Comment on IFRIC D10

Important: IFRIC D10 resulted in the final IFRIC Interpretation 6, issued in September 2005. The information on this page reflects the IFRIC's discussions during the development of the final interpretation, including tentative decisions that were changed along the way. We have retained this page for historical purposes only.

SUMMARY OF IFRIC D10

D10 clarifies when original producers of electrical goods will need to recognise a liability for the cost of waste management relating to final disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment by private households. The IFRIC concluded that the event giving rise to the liability for costs of such waste is participation in the market in the period in which the original seller's market share is determined for the purposes of allocating ultimate waste management costs. It's not the original production or sale of the equipment that triggers liability recognition.
