Re: Weighing scales

there are indeed different regulations for the pos from country to country. one of these is only related to connecting a weighing scale to a pos and applies to all member states of the european union (afaik).

odoo has recently been certified by the lne (a french certification instance) regarding this. the certificate (in french) can be found here (search for “odoo” as certificate holder or “40724” as certificate number).

this certificate applies to odoo 18 and later. unfortunately, to comply, you will need to use the l10n_eu_iot_scale_cert module, which is part of odoo enterprise.

afaik, this certificate is valid for all member states of the european union.

it would be great if we could have a similar certificate for the oca. the problem is that getting one requires a lot of work (painful documents to produce) and is expensive (at least €10k as fees), and only valid for parts of code that cannot be changed later (checksums are checked) without requiring a (paying) revision. there are some discussions in progress (at coop it easy) around this with a current certificate owner that could possibly be revised, but nothing decided yet.

kind regards,

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

AFAIK, there is not an european cert for PoS, at least for weighing, in some regions of Spain we must certificate our accounting software in local tax authority but in others regions not...

When a client of ours (a supermarket) has had an inspection by the consumer authority, they have checked with a known weight the scale and the final result in the PoS, they validate the whole set is measuring fine in display and final ticket. They asked for the certificates of the scales, but they didn't say anything about the software.

I think we are mixing two different legal issues in PoS:

1. Accounting, each region has its own rules.

2. Consumers, each scale must be certificated, revised properly, measuring fine and must communicate reliably with PoS software.

  • Weighing scales
    Hey Everyone,

    I'm a fairly new member to the OCA (joined half 2025) and I didn't had much time to catch up.

    I've been in the mailing and I see sometimes questions popping up & people helping eachother, which is great ! 

    At the moment when you want a weighscale for the POS system for odoo EE  a IOT is recommended and a ariva-S model.

    These scales are sometimes too expensive for customers , did anyone else had success with other scales which also work with an IOT box or any other connection.
    Mind you i'm looking for SaaS solutions also, so while i'm open to costume modules for other scales.
    I'm also looking for scales that would work with SaaS enterprise solution.

    Thank you all , and keep up the good work !

    Sincerely
    Kristof
