Fuel pump payment recording devices that are already approved by the Ministry and which are currently in use must be replaced with new-generation fuel pump payment recording devices by 30 June 2022, and those without electronic recording units by December 31, 2023, at the latest. Fuel pump payment recording devices without an electronic recording unit will not be able to be sold or transferred to third parties by the fuel station operators as of January 1, 2022, as of the effective date of the notification. As of January 1, 2022, the old generation payment recorder devices will not be manufactured, imported, sealed, or sold.
