8.4.10. Fiscal parameters and optional using approval file (Select approval) 
For  devices,  which  are  intended  to  be  used  in  legal  metrology,  the  approval  specifies  which 
parameters are legally relevant. The editing of such parameters must be specifically protected or 
logged. 
 
There are two different types of access rights for legally relevant parameters: 
 Can only be changed if the sealable security switch is open 
 Can also be changed if the security switch is closed, provided the fiscal audit trail 
is not yet full. The change is logged in the fiscal audit trail. 
 
 
If the device is operated in accordance with a valid approval, then the following conditions need to 
be met in the parameterization: 
•  The access rights for legally relevant parameters must be set in line with the approval. 
•  The software versions of the fiscal software components must comply with the approval. 
 
In order to ensure compliance with these conditions, please proceed as follows: 
 
 
 
 
 
Figure 8.36: Configuration – selecting the approval file 
1.  Select the approval to be applied in the Configuration tab, using the drop-down list. All

the selected approval are now labeled in bold orange. A blue label indicates that official 
access rights have been newly added. 
 
2.  Now click on Make compliant. By doing this, the access rights for legally relevant 
parameters are set in line with the selected approval. The orange labeling is replaced by a 
blue one as the changes have not yet been saved.
