EPR AUTHORIZATION for Sewing machines

Introduction

Product Information
Sewing Machine
EETW3

In the textile and apparel sectors, sewing machines are indispensable for stitching fabrics and crafting garments and textile products. Indian Technical Standard EETW3 outlines manufacturing and quality guidelines for sewing machines in India, encompassing technical specifications, quality benchmarks, safety measures, and testing protocols that manufacturers must adhere to.

Adhering to these guidelines ensures that sewing machines are designed, manufactured, and assessed according to recognized industry quality standards. This includes ensuring their functionality, safety, and compliance with mechanical and electrical standards in India. Following these guidelines can enhance a manufacturer's reputation with customers, build consumer trust, and expand market opportunities for their sewing machine products.

Note: Manufacturers of sewing machines must hold the EPR Registration Certificate.

Manufacturers of sewing machines must comply with EPR Authorization requirements to ensure their products are environmentally sustainable and recyclable. This involves establishing protocols for collecting and recycling sewing machines at their end of life, managing hazardous materials safely, and adhering to relevant waste management and recycling regulations.

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.
