Baseline
Record watts in attract, play, idle, and sleep states under declared test conditions.
Raw Thrills Lifecycle Roadmap for Arcade Systems
Measure energy states, extend serviceable life, control content distribution, and document end-of-use handling without publishing unsupported carbon totals.
Four Evidence Gates
Service Life
List replaceable controls, displays, readers, fans, power supplies, and approved access rules.
Content Delivery
Track signed firmware, package hash, transfer method, failed update recovery, and obsolete media.
End of Use
Remove credentials, segregate batteries and electronics, and retain the recycler or return record.
Technology Review Cards
Auto-Sleep Controls
Measure savings against a declared schedule; do not infer portfolio-wide reduction from one cabinet or software revision.
Replaceable Interface Layer
Card readers, controls, harnesses, and displays need documented compatibility and safe-isolation steps.
Signed Content Packages
Digital distribution can reduce physical media, while servers, networks, retention, and recovery still consume resources.
Material Register
Supplier declarations, bill-of-material revision, battery chemistry, packaging mass, and local waste rules define the record.
Frameworks to Verify, Not Partner Claims
ISO 14001
Confirm the named legal entity and valid site scope.
RoHS / REACH
Request revision-specific supplier declarations where applicable.
WEEE / Local E-Waste
Assign producer, importer, operator, and recycler responsibilities by market.
UL Evidence
Electrical evaluation does not quantify whole-life environmental impact.
FCC Part 15
RF scope is separate from energy, repairability, and material reporting.
IAAPA Resources
Industry participation is not a product sustainability certification.
