EPR AUTHORIZATION IS MANDATORY FOR Gas analyzer

Introduction

Gas analyzers are crucial instruments used to analyze the composition of gases across various applications and industries. Indian Technical Standard LIW1 outlines specific guidelines for manufacturing gas analyzers in India, including testing protocols, safety measures, quality standards, and technical specifications that manufacturers must adhere to during production.

These standards ensure the accuracy, reliability, and safety of gas analyzers, widely used across industries such as industrial operations, laboratory research, and environmental monitoring. Adherence to these guidelines demonstrates a manufacturer's commitment to producing trustworthy, high-quality gas analyzers that meet industry and application requirements.

Note:Gas analyzer manufacturers must acquire the mandatory EPR Registration Certificate.

Manufacturers are required by EPR Authorization to actively participate in the proper disposal, recycling, and environmentally responsible management of their gas analyzers, contributing to a sustainable and eco-friendly future. This authorization underscores their dedication to reducing technological waste, conserving resources, and promoting principles of the circular economy.

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.

Essential Documents for Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Authorization for E-Waste

• Address Proof Documents

• Product details (including model numbers and manufacturing/import records)

• Valid BIS License

• CPCB Certification
