# Decision of the European Central Bank of 16 September 2010 on the authenticity and fitness checking and recirculation of euro banknotes (ECB/2010/14) (2010/597/EU), Division 4: BAMs with only one dedicated output stacker may however classify and sort euro banknotes if the following requirements are fulfilled:

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

(a) Each time a category 1, 2 or 3 euro banknote is processed, the machine must stop the processing immediately and keep that euro banknote in a position that avoids any physical contact with authenticated euro banknotes.
(b) The result of the authenticity check must be indicated for any single euro banknote of category 1, 2 or 3 on a display. As the machine cannot physically separate category 1,2 and 3 euro banknotes into different output stackers, they must all be considered and treated as category 2 euro banknotes.
(c) The machine must check for the presence of a category 1, 2 or 3 euro banknote when it stops processing, and processing can only be resumed after the physical removal of the category 1, 2 or 3 euro banknote by the operator.
(d) For each stop of the processing mode no more than one category 1, 2 or 3 euro banknote can be accessible to the operator.
