EPR Registration for
Electrical and Electronic Typewriters

EPR Registration for Electrical and Electronic Typewriters (ITEW8) is compulsory for producers, importers and brand owners of Electrical and Electronic Typewriters placed in the Indian market in accordance with the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022. According to Schedule I of the Rules, Electrical and Electronic Typewriters fall under the category of Information Technology and Telecommunication Equipment (ITEW8). Producers of covered electrical and electronic typewriters must meet the necessary EPR compliance obligations, including registration with the CPCB.

What are Electrical and Electronic Typewriters (ITEW8)?

Electrical and Electronic Typewriters are standalone machines that print characters directly onto paper through a powered keyboard mechanism. Electric models use a motor to drive the typing action, while electronic models use circuitry and often a daisy-wheel and a small memory or display to compose and print text. It is listed in Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 and falls under the EEE category of ITEW8.

ITEW8 is the EEE code assigned to Electrical and Electronic Typewriters in Schedule I. It sits under the IT and Telecommunication Equipment category.  Once such equipment reaches the end of its useful life, it can become e-waste and must be managed through the applicable environmentally sound recycling framework.

Validity & Renewal of EPR E-Waste Registration for Electrical and Electronic Typewriters

Registration under Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for Electrical and Electronic Typewriters (ITEW8) under the E-Waste (Management) Rules and Regulations.

• Validity: The validity period for EPR registration for Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, is 5 years.
• Renewal: The renewal application should be submitted at least 120 days before the 5-year period has expired. Registration may be renewed on the CPCB EPR Portal.

• Consequences of non-compliance: Selling without registration or environmental compensation will cause issues in continued compliance with EPR activities.

It is important to note that the 5-year validity applies to the registration, not to the EPR certificates; the EPR certificates are valid for 2 years from the end of the financial year in which they were generated.

Penalties for Non-Compliance

• Monetary environmental compensation levied by CPCB/SPCB for shortfall in recycling targets or non-registration.
• Potential action under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, including legal proceedings for continued non-compliance.
• Risk of being barred from selling/importing typewriters in India until compliance is restored.
