Inventories [Abstract] |
Inventories [Text Block] | ### 15Inventories ###### Accounting policies Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The costs of conversion of inventories include direct labor and fixed and variable production overheads, considering the stage of completion and the normal capacity of production facilities. Costs of idle facility and abnormal waste are expensed. The cost of inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The write-down of inventories to net realizable value is included in cost of sales. ###### Accounting estimates and judgments Inventory is reduced for the estimated losses due to obsolescence. This reduction is determined for groups of products based on sales in the recent past and/or expected future demand.

The write-down of inventories to net realizable value was EUR 339 million in 2023 (2022: EUR 215 million), including EUR 82 million related to the proposed Respironics consent decree (refer to Provisions).
