Document(s): Weights & Measures Regulations, W&M Specs:
Specification Volumetric Ministerial (SVM 1-27); SVM 2-14
1.0 Purpose
The purpose of this bulletin is to outline Measurement Canada’s requirements regarding the content and suggested formats for retail receipts printed by cash registers, consoles or Point of Sale (POS) systems which are interfaced to retail fuel dispensers or high speed refuellers.
2.0 Scope
This bulletin applies only to printing devices directly interfaced with volumetric devices.
A device which provides a printed receipt that is separate and not interfaced to the measuring system (dispenser, console, card reader, etc.) does not have to comply with the printing requirements of section 129 of the Weights and Measures Regulations or section 27 of Ministerial Specification SVM-1.
3.0 Background
Cashier consoles are no longer evaluated by the Approval Services Laboratory (ASL). In the past, the ASL only evaluated a console if it had the ability to change the unit price on the dispenser. The console, if it has printing capabilities should be evaluated in the field for agreement with the primary means of registration on the device and receipt content during a regular inspection.
Retail cash registers, consoles and the more common, POS systems that produce printed receipts and are interfaced to a measuring system used for delivering retail automotive fuels are required to provide specific information as prescribed in section 129 of the Weights and Measures Regulations or section 27 of Ministerial Specification SVM-1 and, where appropriate, SVM-2 section 14. However, these sections do not specify the format in which the information should be presented in order to ensure that it is clear and understandable to all parties to the transaction. Consequently, this has created uniformity problems for both MC and industry alike.
4.0 Definition
All words and expressions used in this bulletin have the same meaning as in other Weights and Measures legislation.
5.0 Printed Ticket Requirements
5.1 For retail applications with automatic temperature correction and where the customer normally views the transaction, the statement "volume corrected to 15oC" is not required on the receipt/ticket if the primary register is so marked.
5.2 Retail Cash registers, consoles or POS systems that produce printed receipts and are interfaced to a measuring system used for delivering retail automotive fuels, are required to provide specific information as prescribed in section 129 of the Weights and Measures Regulations or section 27 of Ministerial Specification SVM-1 and where appropriate SVM-2 section 14.
5.3 Acceptable Retail Sales Receipt Format
