✨ Gaming Equipment Standards
3348 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE No. 114
• Transfer of module approvals between jurisdictions.
A.6. Document Revision
The Authority may issue revisions to this document at any time. However, gaming equipment approved or substantially evaluated under existing technical standards will continue to be approved unless the Authority deems that the objectives of this document would not be substantially realised.
A.7. Approval Process
This document is designed such that gaming equipment approved in either South Australia or Victoria will be eligible for approval in New Zealand with a minimum of alterations (if any). To this end, the following information is intended to assist in this process. Machines approved in other jurisdictions may be eligible to receive a transfer of approval under other parts of this document.
A.7.1. Modular Design, Testing and Approvals
The document is modular in design in accordance with the modular design of gaming equipment. Modular hardware and software, and good design and supporting documentation, facilitate the ability to transfer approvals of modules. The modular approach also enables the testing laboratory to test modules concurrently to expedite the testing process. Therefore, to reduce time and cost of testing, manufacturers are urged to adopt a modular approach to design and maintain adequate documentation.
A.7.2. Cross Reference Guide to Assist Approvals
A cross-reference of requirements pertaining to gaming machines is provided in Part G of this document. Consequently, when suppliers submit a response to this document, instead of making a complete re-submission manufacturers may wish to refer to previous approvals for either Victoria or South Australia. If the testing laboratory certifies that its previous testing addressed all aspects of the applicable sections of this document, a transfer of approval may be warranted. Notwithstanding communications interfaces, it is expected that only minimal additional testing, if any, should be required for a previously approved product.
It is important to take note that a cross-reference does NOT imply identical requirements. Rather, the same subject matter is dealt with (eg. percent return in Victoria and New Zealand is 87% minimum, whilst in South Australia it is 85%).
A.7.3. Approval Process Procedure
The steps involved in obtaining approval of equipment will be supplied to equipment manufacturers and suppliers upon request.
A.7.4. Special Approvals
Notwithstanding anything contained in this document the Authority may in exceptional or unusual circumstances grant special approval to equipment complying substantially with the applicable standards contained in the document. Such approval will be granted in writing at the discretion of the Secretary.
