✨ Gaming Equipment Compliance Guidelines

3350 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE No. 114

A.11. Cost of Compliance Testing

All costs of testing, including but not restricted to the following items, are to be borne fully by the casino operator and/or the supplier of the equipment:

Costs of conducting tests, evaluations, analyses and audits, including time and materials relative to new equipment, hardware or software, or changes to existing equipment, hardware or software.
Provision of equipment to be tested.
Provision of specialised test equipment, if such is not already available to the laboratory.
Transportation of equipment.
Repair or replacement of equipment that has failed or has been damaged or destroyed during or as a result of testing.

A.12. Ownership, Return and Destruction of Submission Materials

All testing equipment, documents, and other material supplied to the Authority’s testing agency for the purpose of compliance testing remain the property of the party making the submission. Submission material may be returned at the request of the party who made the submission provided sufficient notice is given to the Authority or the testing agency.

From time to time, the Authority or its appointed testing agency may elect to return obsolete submission material. Under certain circumstances, the party who made the submission may elect to have obsolete material (eg documentation) destroyed rather than returned. All submission material shall be returned or destroyed at the expense of the owner of the material.

A.13. Design/Testing Strategy

It is in the long term interests of all suppliers to design their equipment to specifications, and to thoroughly test their equipment prior to submission for compliance testing. It is suggested that such an approach would assist a supplier in ensuring long term maintainability, transferability and reliability of its product. It could also reduce the time and cost incurred through re-testing by nominated testing agencies.

As a guide to design and testing, it is suggested that suppliers or manufacturers of gaming equipment simply prepare a checklist of each of the relevant specifications contained in this document. If the specifications form part of the product design, and the supplier’s testers were to simply tick-off against the check-list, the supplier may be relatively confident that its product should pass compliance testing with minimal, if any, modifications being required.
