1.4 Conditional parts
The taximeter may be equipped with the following peripheral device(s):
- Printer with electromagnetic environment class E3.
1.5 Non-essential parts
The taximeter may be connected to non-essential devices, for example but not limited to mobile data terminal, card readers, seat sensors and roof lights, provided that:
They do not present primary data not presented by the taximeter;
They do not lead to an instrument having other essential characteristics than those fixed by this type-examination document.
2 Seals
To secure components that may not be dismantled or adjusted by the user, the taximeter has to be secured in a suitable manner on the locations indicated in the drawing:
| Number | Pages | Description | Remark |
| 21-22.02/0-10 | 3 | Sealing | - |
A NFC card is needed for the following functions:

The tariffs are protected by identifier (date) and checksum and secured by NFC card;
The adjustments to the taximeter are protected by mechanical seal and event counter;
Depending on national regulations the identifiers and/or checksums and/or event counter value(s) are marked on the prescribed provision.
3 Conditions for conformity assessment
The marks, facilities for the marks and the inscriptions on the taximeter fulfil the requirements of OIML R 21.
