2. The equipment for the selection and verification of bank notes (BPM) with only two
special reception boxes can still classify and sort euro banknotes if the following requirements are respected
:
controls a) authenticity and fitness shall be carried out in the same step. In this passage

output stacker may however classify and sort euro banknotes if the following requirements are respected
:
a) each time it is treated a euro banknote belonging to the categories 1, 2 or 3,
the equipment should stop treatment immediately and keep the banknote
EUR interested in such a position as to avoid any physical contact with banknotes
€ authenticated;
B) the authenticity check results should be contained on one screen for each
euro banknote belonging to the categories 1, 2 or 3. Since the equipment can not be separated physically
euro banknotes in categories 1, 2 and 3 in different boxes

ANNEX III (to the Law 29 July 2013 101)

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE MANUAL OF BANK NOTES FITNESS IN EURO


This Annex sets out the minimum requirements for the manual controls of eligibility of euro banknotes
by the trained staff.
During the fitness checks, euro banknotes with any defect in Table here
below, or with an obvious flaw in the eye in one of the safety features, are
considered unsuitable. However, folded euro banknotes and euro banknotes with folded corners
can be adjusted manually extending them where possible.
The suitability checks are carried out by a visual inspection of the individual euro banknotes and do not require
using other tools.
