 Introduction  
1.1  Purpose of Standard  
1.1.1 General Statement  
The purpose of this technical standard is as follows:  
a) To eliminate subjective criteria in analyzing and ce rtifying the regulated operations of a kiosk.  
b) To test the criteria that impact the credibility and integrity of a kiosk from both the revenue collection 
and security perspective . 
c) To create a standard that will ensure that kiosks are fair, secure, and able to be audited and operated 
correctly.  
d) To distinguish between local public policy and Independent Test L aboratory criteria.  
e) To recognize that non -gaming testing (such as electrical testing) should not be incorporated into this 
standard but left to appropri ate test laboratories that specialize in that type of testing. Except where 
specifically identified in this standard, testing is not directed at health or safety matters. These matters 
are the responsibility of the manufacturer, purchaser, and operator of the kiosk . 
f) To construct a standard that can be easily revised to allow for new technology.  
g) To construct a standard that does not specify any particular design, method, or algorithm . The intent 
is to allow a wide range of methods to be used to conform to th e standards, while at the same time 
encourage new methods to be developed.  
 
1.1.2 No Limitation of Technology.   
One should be cautioned that this document shall not be read in such a way that limits the use of future 
technology. This document should not b e interpreted to mean that if the technology is not mentioned, then it is
