The FPS Finance in Belgium has published a decree on the technical aspects of the certification of a registered cash register system.

The FPS Finance has published a new Decree on the technical aspects of the certification of a registered cash register system on their website. This document refers to new requirements for the upcoming GKS 2.0 (upgrades of cash registers and FDM as part of CRS). This decree replaces Circular AA Fisc No. 33/2016, which regulated technical specification with requirements that both cash registers and fiscal data modules had to meet for technical approval in Belgium.

This document consists of various information on the technical specifications required for a cash register system to be certified, including hardware and software requirements. The decree specifies the necessary documentation that manufacturers must submit, such as technical descriptions, security features, and data handling processes. It also has information on the procedures for testing and verifying compliance with the established standards. Additionally, the decree addresses the responsibilities of manufacturers and operators in maintaining their certified solutions.

Additional details, such as detailed information on certification as well as how producers of FDM can connect to the test environment of the authority, are expected from the end of June onwards.
