NTEP (Weight Scale) Device Certification on Volanté POSes

NTEP (Weight Scale) Device Certification on Volanté POSes

Owned by Douglas Chow

Overview

The Volanté POS UI is required to display proof of NTEP Device Certification on cashier screens, user screens, and admin option screens at all times.

The information displayed should follow the format stated below:

MFG: Volante Systems

Model No: Volante POS V.7

Version Number: 7.1.404

NTEP CC 18-019 , Accuracy Class III

Volanté NTEP Certification Details

The Volanté Point-of-Sale System Software is currently certified by the NTEP, and granted a NTEP Certificate number of 18-019.

This certificate can be found at the National Conference on Weights and Measures website:

https://www.ncwm.net/_resources/e30d:p4s2fw-1yi/files/76009918z714ab4d8/_fn/18-019.pdf

Note that it is possible for the NTEP Certificate number to change. This may occur if:

  • The software ever needs to be re-certified
  • Another hardware/software solution belonging to Volanté needs to be certified, warranting a new and separate number.

As this is the case, the number may not always be 18-019, and care should be taken this number is updated accordingly. As such, the ability to edit the NTEP Certification number in System Configuration is available.

  • Home Screen (bottom left, near server status line)
