That's a good suggestion Lisa and people love a good checklist.  I have one for ADA that covers the "low-hanging fruit" that you don't consider at your own peril. And it is different in verticals and different in countries.

In the self-service world, there is the hardware, the software, the devices, connections, data and along with all that is installation, warranty, service and maintenance (software & hardware). And any and all regulations be them federal and/or state that are in play.

My wife was getting her passport photo at FedEx yesterday and of course I spent my time in benevolent hacker mode at the internet stations. Fairly easy to "intrude."

For digital signage media players running a consumer-grade Windows OS is a consideration all to itself given patch cycles/etc. People do that to save money.

Maybe add a separate section to evaluate all the "money-saving" initiatives of budget, and take an honest look at the resultant liabilities (and subsequent costs).

I spoke with Wendys at NRF and I guess they went "immediate term economical" on signage and kiosks only to find out a year later that downtime and lack of monitoring is taking a big chunk of money every month (and units not serving customers).  

Ironic how "went cheap" is usually a synonym for "longterm more costly".

CMS hosting along with any network credentials/connections are a separate category (and lengthy) for me. 

Assuming it is just a display (no interactive) then in the US there are the usual. If nothing else FCC approval and ideally UL sticker are start point.

One problem area is with media players/engines. They have storage as a rule and you need to make sure they are secure. Maybe you have a camera capturing data. If it is stored then you can be liable especially in certain states.

There are national standards + state standards that should be reviewed.

State (or Federal) projects always come with a lengthy "compliance" list. Sometimes 30 or 40 items they want a check next to (before they send you a check). 

International standards are CCC, FCC, CE, UL, and ROHS

In US -- ADA standards apply to digital signage under conditions

FCC emission approval - much like CE in Europe

UL regs enter in - think LinkNYC "outdoor" or Wind related (up to 180 mph)

Made in America can apply if selling to certain

Hurricane codes come into play from FEMA

WCAG comes into play as does HIPAA or Medical rated (60601)

NEMA for outdoor

Dark Sky comes into play

Biometrics comes into play (see Illinois court docket)

Canada is different

Asia is different

Europe is different

The standards page on kioskindustry.org lists just the more common ones. I should add the other 30 or 40 that come up for agencies.

NASA is very cooperative on this project and they are putting together some material for one of the providers which will pass on to me.  This project expands the definition of "retrofit" for sure utilizing prior structures in a new way.

Peerless-AV does such a great job of documenting projects.  I'll post this out on my sites.  Nice job Rachael!

That can be arranged.  Just send an email with your company and contact info along with request to info@kioskindustry.org and I will forward onto appropriate people to respond.  It's definitely an impressive project and I wouldn't mind knowing how much of it was LG and/or Samsung (both sponsors for KMA).

Even if you are not traveling, multilingual self-order for fast food is terrific for many in the U.S. -- I still wonder with all the talk about AI and machine learning, the drive thrus still do not truly accommodate multi-lingual display or audio ordering

It's becoming a must-have. I was surprised to see the ROAS by Volta and the calculated effect of 1 billion impressions for the EV charging stations in the retail brick-and-mortar space.  I haven't yet seen the ROI model for the "just walk out" Lidar-based shopping experiences.

Next feature is look at displays and how they help retail/public-facing customers. Stuart Armstrong of AAG and Pete Thompson of Imageholders were interviewed.
