Yes, EPR authorization is mandatory for other lighting or equipment for the purpose of spreading or controlling light excluding filament bulbs 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 lighting or equipment for the purpose of spreading or controlling light excluding filament bulbs 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 lighting or equipment for the purpose of spreading or controlling light excluding filament bulbs 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.
