Product : Other large appliances used for cooking and other processing of food
IS Standard : LSEEW10
EPR authorization is mandatory for other large appliances used for cooking and other processing of food 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 other large appliances used for cooking and other processing of food must submit an application to the BIS. The application must include information on the following:
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 other large appliances used for cooking and other processing of food 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.
The EPR authorization certificate is valid for a period of five years. After the expiry of the EPR authorization certificate, the manufacturer or importer must renew the certificate by submitting a fresh application to the BIS.
The EPR scheme is a valuable tool for 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.
