NKL Cash Handling Completes CE Certification
Brand Expands its International Presence

Released: 2-17-03
NKL Cash Handling’s family of products including its cash dispenser safes (D8 family), cash
validator safes (V2 family) and AXC family safes have recently received CE certification.

Companies handling large sums of money are looking to control operational procedures and report
what and who is accessing their safes at any given time. The AuditLok XLV system found in NKL Cash
Handling’s product line can monitor access and provide cash/user/event reports to a central
database, validate paper money and dispense coins. The safes can even interface with POS machines.

The CE mark is a mandatory European marking for certain product groups to conform with health and
safety requirements set out in European Directives. The letters ‘CE’ are an abbreviation of
Conformité Européenne, which is French for European conformity.

CE certification requires testing at a certified laboratory and allows NKL Cash Handling to sell
its electronic cash management products in the fifteen member states of the European Union and
Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.

“Sales to United States corporations with operations in the European Union will continue to play a
role in our growth model. We anticipate aggressive sales and marketing in this region within the
next five years,” said NKL Cash Handling’s Director of Marketing Steve Aronson.

Goods sold into the European Economic Community since January 1996 are required to bear the CE
mark. The designation has no meaning for goods sold in the USA, except if the customer in the USA
will be including the goods in a system that will be exported into Europe. The CE designation
represents an agreement on one set of standards for the entire European Union for products.

NKL Cash Handling products carrying this designation include: D8CH32221, D8XH32221, D8CH3222,
D8XH3222, D8R32221, D8R3222, VC2CE2817J10, V2R-2817J10, V2R-2417J10, AXC32221, AXC3222, AXC29201,
and AXC2920.
