Homologation procedure of fiscal device in Bulgaria

Since the Bulgarian fiscalization system belongs to a hardware-based system, meaning the usage of the predefined and homologated fiscal device is required, there are some rules about a fiscal device that is used in forms of fiscalization. More precisely, a fiscal device will be allowed to use and placed on the market only if meets the technical and functional requirements. This is the obligation of manufacturers or importers of fiscal devices.

In other words, manufacturers or importers submit to the Bulgarian Institute of Metrology for testing an untaxed sample of the relevant type together with a written request declaration and other documents (service description, service book, test programs, samples, and other declarations). A notification letter to the National revenue agency is required. The procedure is predefined.

These are the steps you need to follow in order to get approval for the fiscal device procedure:
1. review of the submitted documents;
2. testing for compliance with the functional and technical requirements
3. issuance of a type approval certificate
It is important to note that the approval certificate is issued for 10 years or until there is a change in the technical and/or functional requirements.
