KassenSichV for electronic cash register systems

The German Cash Security Regulation (KassenSichV) ensures that cash register systems in Germany are operated in a way that prevents manipulation. Since January 1, 2020, a Technical Security Device (TSE) is mandatory. This includes a security module, a storage medium and a digital interface.

Requirements for cash register operators

Electronic cash register systems must be equipped with a certified TSE. This consists of a security module, a storage medium and a digital interface. Companies must ensure that all transactions are recorded in a way that prevents manipulation.


The receipt issuing obligation
‍Since the introduction of the KassenSichV, every company is obliged to issue a receipt for every transaction. This can be done digitally or in paper form. The receipt must contain all relevant information such as the serial number of the TSE.

Unalterable storage and audits

All cash register data must be stored in a manipulation-proof and unalterable manner. The retention period is ten years. Financial authorities can audit the cash register systems and stored data at any time.
