Hey All,

Already thank you for the replies.

I was under the impression if the scale is certified it should not be a problem?
Connect a scale — Odoo 19.0 documentation

The only requirement is that it is intregrated no?


I could be wrong since I don't have any knowledge about the legal info about scales.
As far as I know every scale has to be "checked" every 4 years by company that is registered as official by the goverment(in Belgium)

So just to be clear , even if I have a certified weighing scale, odoo itself isn't certified enough as POS in european setting?

Sincerely
Kristof

Hi all, 

well the latest i heard on this was from fellow Odooer Laurence Labusch (and his company Labiso GmbH). He has spent considerable time to narrow down that issue with the authorities and afaik it is still not allowed to use an electronic wheiging scale even if the POS itself is working according to the national standard which in Germany is implemented using fiskaly TSE unless the whole POS is certified with the weighing scale but maybe Laurence (which i am putting on copy can answer himself).

Best Frederik

P.S.: Jan-Marten maybe you can make Laurence aware of the Hamburg OCA Sprint ;-)

My latest information (more a guess/feeling) from Odoo customer service (and some online research) on this was that if the POS is certified (like e.g. Odoo POS via fiscaly is in Germany), then the scale itself does not need to have an additional certification, and that this may explain why Odoo removed the below  notice from its later documentation from v18 on
"Odoo is not certified in several countries, including France, Germany, and Switzerland. If you reside in one of these countries, you can still use a scale but without integration into your Odoo database. Alternatively, you can acquire a non-integrated certified scale that prints certified labels, which can then be scanned into your Odoo database."

Anyone has more clarity on this scale certification part in Germany or other EU countries?

Best
