EPR stands for Extended Producer Responsibility. It is a policy that requires manufacturers and importers of electronic products to take responsibility for the collection and recycling of their products at the end of their life. This helps to reduce the amount of electronic waste that ends up in landfills and incinerators.

High intensity discharge lamps (HID lamps), including pressure sodium lamps and metal halide lamps, are covered by the EPR scheme in India. This means that manufacturers and importers of these products are required to obtain EPR authorization from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). EPR authorization is a legal requirement and failure to comply can result in fines or other penalties.

To obtain EPR authorization, manufacturers and importers of HID lamps must submit an application to the BIS. The application must include information on the following:

  • The name and address of the manufacturer or importer
  • The type and quantity of HID lamps that will be manufactured or imported
  • The name and address of the collection and recycling facility that will be used to manage the e-waste

The BIS will review the application and may require additional information or documentation. If the application is approved, the BIS will issue an EPR authorization certificate.

The EPR authorization certificate must be displayed on all HID lamps that are sold in India. This helps consumers to identify products that are covered by the EPR scheme and that have been manufactured or imported by a responsible company.

The EPR scheme is an important step in reducing the amount of electronic waste in India. By requiring manufacturers and importers to take responsibility for the collection and recycling of their products, the EPR scheme helps to protect the environment and public health.
