A Non-Service Station in the US

BACK in Nov 2020 the Australasian Convenience and Petroleum Marketers Association (ACAPMA) is the national peak body representing the interests of the fuel wholesale, distribution and retail industry in Australia addressed the issue of QR Codes.

“Digital recording of customer information became mandatory for many NSW venues this week in an effort to ensure standardised and readily avialbe information for contact tracers in the event of another wave. The question for the fuel industry is…which venues?

The requirement is for all businesses to record their customer details electronically. This can be through the use of the standard NSW QR Code system or another electronic system.

The requirement to capture, save and store the contact details of ALL customers applies to a detailed list of “venues & events”.

This list does not include fuel retail sites (service stations), nor does it include convenience stores, supermarkets and other locations where the customer is quickly transiting through the space.

In the event of an internet outage or interruption paper records can be sought, but must be fed into the digital system as soon as possible. “
