Hello group;
Recently a client has requested a product safety evaluation for CE Marking of their casino game – a fairly typical electronic slot machine. The machine does not issue tokens to a winner, but rather prints a redeemable coupon. Similar products by the client have been evaluated by a Notified Body lab in the Community; the standard used was EN 60065, Audio / Video. My initial research – checking the harmonized standards available – seems to indicate that this may not be the appropriate standard. I find that the following: EN 60335-1:2002 Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety -- Part 1: General requirements Along with EN 60335-2-82:2000 Safety of household and similar electrical appliances -- Part 2-82: Particular requirements for service machines and amusement machines Would appear to be more appropriate than EN 60065. I do not have a copy of the 60335-2-82 standard – if anyone has experience with this type product, or has a copy of the standard, I would be very appreciative of opinions as to the appropriate standard, or would love to have a peek at the scope of 60335-2-82 before purchasing it. I’m wondering if the -2-82 standard only applies to machines that redeem coins or tokens. I have requested justification / reasoning from the Notified Body, but am trying to move forward while waiting for their reply. As always, any assistance is appreciated, and opinions welcomed.
