Arcade machines must meet various certification requirements to ensure safety, functionality, and compliance with industry standards. The most common types of certification requirements include:

1. Electrical Safety Certification – Arcade machines must pass electrical safety tests to prevent hazards like short circuits or overheating. Standards like UL (Underwriters Laboratories) or CE (Conformité Européenne) are often required.

2. EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) Testing – Ensures the machine doesn’t interfere with other electronic devices and operates correctly in its intended environment.

3. Mechanical Safety Compliance – Machines must have secure enclosures, non-sharp edges, and stable structures to prevent injuries, especially in public spaces.

4. Fire Safety Standards – Materials used in arcade cabinets must be flame-resistant, and wiring must meet fire prevention regulations.

5. Software and Content Licensing – Games must have proper licensing to avoid copyright violations, and software should be free from malicious code.

6. Accessibility Requirements – Some regions mandate features like adjustable volume, clear instructions, or wheelchair-accessible designs.

Meeting these certifications ensures arcade machines are safe, legal, and ready for commercial use. Always check local regulations for specific compliance needs.
