COMPARABILITY CHECK
[ ] Same destination and reporting period.
[ ] Same materials, quantities and scope.
[ ] Currency and unit are explicit; kg and tonnes were not mixed.
[ ] Fixed charges, minimums, taxes and add-ons are recorded separately.
[ ] Quotes are valid for the period being considered.
[ ] Missing information is marked unknown, not entered as zero.

Only compare a total after resolving all material differences above.
Do not apply a public UK fee or a global waste statistic to a German quote.
1000 kg = 1 tonne is a mass conversion, not a currency conversion.

WHY THESE INPUTS?
ZSVR identifies period, system, material and mass as reporting dimensions.
The proposal comparison fields are EPRCheck's own purchasing checklist;
they are not an official template or a claim that all providers bill alike.
