Operating commercial arcade machines requires strict adherence to safety standards to protect users and ensure reliable performance. The most critical certifications include UL (Underwriters Laboratories) certification, which validates electrical safety and fire resistance in the U.S. market. The CE Marking indicates compliance with European Union health, safety, and environmental standards, essential for machines sold in Europe. ETL certification, offered by Intertek, provides similar verification to UL and is widely accepted in North America. Additionally, FCC certification ensures electromagnetic interference compliance, preventing disruptions to other electronics. Local electrical codes may also require specific endorsements. These certifications not only prevent accidents and legal liabilities but also enhance customer trust. Operators should always verify up-to-date certification badges on machines and consult regional regulations for full compliance.
