Commission’s interpretation:

Article 29(4)(b) provides an exemption for packaging used for the transportation of large-scale machinery, equipment and commodities for which packaging is custom designed to fit the individual requirements of the economic operator that made the order. Large-scale machinery, equipment, and commodities should be understood in this context. Economic operators who want to make use of this exemption must provide proper documentation that shows that the packaging is custom designed for an individual product. This documentation should be provided in the technical documentation for the packaging, and shall cover any design, manufacture and operation of the packaging necessary to access conformity with the conditions for the exemption set forth in Article 29(4b).
