EPR AUTHORIZATION for Coin slot machines

Introduction

Coin-operated slot machines are commonly found in gambling and entertainment venues, offering patrons both enjoyment and the chance to win money. The Indian Technical Standard TLSEW6 outlines the manufacturing and quality standards for these machines in India.

These guidelines ensure that the design, manufacturing, and assessment of these devices meet established quality criteria, ensuring their functionality, safety, and compliance with Indian electrical and technological standards.

Note: Manufacturers of coin-operated slot machines must obtain EPR Authorization from the relevant regulatory authorities before their products can be legally sold and used.

EPR authorization is crucial to ensure that these devices meet stringent safety regulations, mitigate electromagnetic radiation emissions, and safeguard the health of users and operators. This authorization process rigorously evaluates the machine's construction, design, and electromagnetic emissions to ensure compliance with safety standards.

Information regarding Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Authorization for E-Waste

EPRA, known as Extended Producer Responsibility Authorization, is a critical initiative aimed at addressing the growing challenge of managing electronic waste, or "e-waste." Obtaining EPR authorization involves securing approval from State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs) and obtaining an EPR Registration Certificate from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). Through EPRA, manufacturers and importers of electronic goods assume responsibility for managing e-waste, taking over from consumers and local governments. Under EPRA, these stakeholders are mandated to manage the entire lifecycle of their products, including collection, recycling infrastructure, and proper disposal methods.
